Quick Installation
These connections are optional. The UPS will function properly without these connections.
1 Phone Line/Network Line Surge
Suppression
The UPS has jacks which protect against surges over a
phone line or network data line.
Using telephone cords or network data cables as
appropriate, connect the wall jack to the UPS jack marked
"IN." Connect equipment to the UPS jack marked "OUT."
Make sure the equipment connected to the UPS jacks is
also protected against surges on the AC line. NOTE:
Tel/DSL/Ethernet (RJ-45) jacks not compatible with PoE
(Power over Ethernet) applications.
USB Communications

Use a USB cable to connect the computer's USB port to the
USB port of the UPS. Download the PowerAlert UPS
monitoring software program appropriate for the computer's
operating system from www.tripplite.com/software/ and
install it.
External Battery Connection
3
(Select Models)
All UPS models come with a robust internal battery system;
select models feature connectors that accept an optional
external battery pack (sold separately from Tripp Lite) to
provide additional runtime. Adding an external battery will
increase recharge time as well as runtime. See battery pack
owner's manual for complete installation instructions. Make
sure cables are fully inserted into their connectors. Small
sparks may result during battery connection; this is normal.
Do not connect or disconnect battery pack when the UPS is
running on battery power.
