COMMUNICATION
The Powerware 5115 RM has flexible communication options for local,
network, or remote monitoring and management. You can use the USB
port or the DB-9 communication port to connect your computer to the
UPS. The X-Slot communication bay is also available for additional
connectivity options.
NOTE Select only one method for communication. If an X-Slot card is installed, the
USB and DB-9 ports are disabled. If an X-Slot card is not installed, be sure that only
one port (USB or DB-9) is connected to the computer.
USB Port
The UPS can communicate with a USB-compliant computer using
LanSafe Power Management Software (v4.15 or higher).
To establish communication between the UPS and a computer:
1. Connect the USB cable to the USB port on the UPS rear panel.
Connect the other end of the USB cable to the USB port on your
computer.
