Note: A special external SNMP/HTTP Agent device is available that connects to the UPS’s
RS-232 Port. This allows for one Dry Contact interface board to be installed into the
Advanced Communications Option Slot concurrently.
CAUTION: When an internal SNMP/HTTP AGENT device is installed into the Advanced
Communications Option Slot, the RS-232 port and UPSILON software may not be used.
The RS-232 PORT
The unit is equipped with one RS-232 port located on the UPS rear panel. A SPECIAL interface
cable is provided to allow for the connection of the UPS to another RS-232 port found on most
computers. When this cable has been connected, and the supplied UPSILON Computer
Shutdown and Management software has been properly installed on the connected computer,
a high level of protection against lost or corrupted files is in effect.
Please refer to the UPSILON Users Manual located on the UPSILON CD supplied with this unit.
