about connecting hardware, X−Slot options, setting up the ports, changing settings, and
changing modes.

7.1 Locating the Communication Bays

The Communication Panel inside the UPS contains a DB−9 and DB−25 serial port. The DB−9
port provides a computer interface to a Remote Monitor Panel, Relay Interface Module, or
Supervisory Contact Module. The Communication Panel also contains terminals (TB1 and
TB2) for connecting your equipment to the UPS.
The X−Slot communication bay, used for optional X−Slot cards, allows the UPS to
communicate in a variety of networking environments and with different types of devices.
Figure 7-1 shows the location of these items inside the UPS.
