7.11 Remote Notification

For connection and setup of a modem or to enable Remote Notify features within the UPS,
please contact Powerware (see page 1-2).
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:
Remote Notification provides the user with the option of receiving alarms and notices at a
remote location. Using the Terminal mode, the user 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
a user calls the UPS on the phone. The user has exactly the same capabilities as if using a
terminal connected directly to the UPS RS-232 port.
Remote Notification differs from the basic Terminal mode with the addition the following
functions:
