2.3. Accessing the UPSLink
There are several ways to access the UPSLink. These methods are dependent on whether the user is
located at a local site or a remote site, or whether s/he requires a menu-driven interface or graphic
menu system.
- System console:
Local users can connect directly to the system console port of the UPSLink using the serial console
cable and the terminal emulator like HyperTerminal in Windows.
- Telnet:
Remote users who require a menu-driven interface can utilize Telnet (port 23) connections to the
UPSLink using a Telnet program.
- Web:
Remote users who want to use a web browser to configure the UPSLink can access the UPSLink
using conventional web browsers, such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
The UPSLink requires user authentication for all the above methods.
