EATON Powerware
For connection and setup of a modem, or to enable Remote Notify and Call Home
features within the UPS, please contact Eaton (see page 1-7).
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:
S
Call a remote terminal or pager based on programmable events and alarms
S
Four separate, programmable notification groups (phone numbers)
S
Automatic answering (user-configurable) for access to the Terminal mode of
the UPS
S
Remote and local ability to clear Call Out alarms and events
S
Error detection and correction for misconfigured and disconnected modems.
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 an RS-232 port.
Remote Notification differs from the basic Terminal mode with the addition the
following functions:
S
Call Answer – The Call Answer function allows the user to call into the UPS from a
remote location and enter Terminal mode.
S
Call Out – The Call Out function allows the UPS to be configured to call either a
remote computer or numeric paging service over the phone line. Call Out allows
the UPS to call a remote computer and leave a one-line descriptive message of the
alarm or notice condition. Numeric paging support allows the UPS to call a paging
service and send numeric messages.
S
Housekeeping – The Housekeeping function maintains the link between the UPS
and modem.
