Connecting to
the
Management
port (via
modem)
To connect a modem to Share-UPS, use a standard serial
cable. Connect one end to the Management port of Share-
UPS and the other end to the serial port of the modem.
When Share-UPS is powered on, it configures the con-
nected modem by sending modem AT setup commands.
If your modem requires an external power adapter, plug it
into the UPS so that it will operate during power failures.

Share-UPS
To log on to Share-UPS, perform the following steps in the
order given.
1 Set the communication parameters of the modem
or DTE to 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow
control. When logging on for the first time, set the
baud to 9600 bps, the Share-UPS default. (Share-
UPS supports 1200, 2400, 9600, and 19200 baud.)
