Requesting Information
If your Npower UPS is equipped with a modem and telephone line, you can call the UPS and receive
system status and historical information. You can place the call from either a remote terminal or a
personal computer with a communications program.
Follow the instructions for your terminal or your communications program to call the UPS. (See
Options Manual for details.) Once connected, the UPS will respond to your specific requests for infor-
mation (See Table 8).
For example, to see a copy of information on the active status reports, enter the command, “SR” and
press ENTER. The Npower UPS will send the data, which will be displayed on your screen. Please
note that the data on the screen is like a snapshot -- the status of the UPS at the moment you
requested the information. The information sent remotely is not updated, although you can repeat the
process at intervals to request the present information.
Some screens contain data that you may wish to import into a spreadsheet for further calculations. To
put this data into a usable format, use the screen-capture feature of your communications software
(or a separate screen-capture program) to save all or part of the data to disk. Hint: If you save the file
with an extension of “.txt,” it can then be imported into a spreadsheet program and converted to work-
sheet format.
To terminate your connection to the Npower, type “Quit” and press Enter. The UPS will hang up its
modem and await your next call.
Dial Out Pager
The Dial Out Pager requires the modem option to be installed. (It works with both the external and
internal modems) Its function is to provide pager support (alphanumeric and numeric)for the Npower
system.
The Pager Support Screen can be accessed by starting with SYSTEM CONFIGURATION, and navi-
gating to COMM OPTIONS, and then to PAGER SUPPORT CONFIGURATION.

From this screen you can enable or disable the pager, and set it to the pin number required for alpha-
numeric paging on Skytel.
The PAGER ENABLED field can be set to YES or NO. This is interlocked with the modem option.
