5. Communication Port

5.1 RS-232 and USB Communication Ports

To establish communication between the UPS and a computer, connect your computer to one of the UPS
communication ports using an appropriate communication cable.
When the communication cable is installed, power management software can exchange data with the UPS. The
software polls the UPS for detailed information on the status of the power environment. If a power emergency occurs,
the software initiates the saving of all data and an orderly shutdown of the equipment.
The cable pins for the RS-232 communication port are identified as below, and the pin functions are described in Table
