Remote Notification provides the UPS with the capability to use a standard off-the-shelf PC
modem as a telephone interface. The features provided by this option are as follows:
Ī Call a remote terminal or pager based on programmable events and alarms.
Ī Four separate, programmable notification groups (phone numbers).
Ī Automatic answering (user-configurable) for access to the Terminal m ode of the UPS.
Ī Remote and local ability to clear Call Out alarms and events.
Ī Error detection and correction for misconfigured and disconnected modems.
Remote Notification provides the user with the option of receiving alarms and notices at a
remote location. Using the Terminal mode, the u ser calls the UPS to perform basic
monitoring. In the event of a UPS alarm or notice, the user is notified at the remote
location. The UPS calls through the modem to the user’s computer or pager and leaves a
message.
Remote Notification is an extension of the Terminal mode with the additional support
algorithms necessary to control an external modem. Connection to the UPS is made when

terminal connected directly to the UPS RS-232 port.
Remote Notification differs from the basic Terminal mode with the addition the following
functions:
Ī Call Answer – The Call Answer function allows the user to call into the UPS from a
remote location and enter Terminal mode.
Ī Call Out – The Call Out function allows the UPS to be configured to call either a remote
computer or numeric paging service over the phone line. Call Out allows the UPS to call
a remote computer and leave a one-line descriptive message of the alarm or notice
condition. Numeric paging support allows the UPS to call a paging service and send
numeric messages.
Ī Housekeeping – The Housekeeping function maintains the link between the UPS and
modem.
