Remote Notification

13.1 Description
Remote Notification provides the user with the option of receiving alarms and
notices at a remote location. Remote Notification operates through a standard
computer modem. 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 (refer to Chapter 12,
"Serial Communications"). 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 of Call Answer, Call Out, and
Housekeeping functions. The Call Answer function allows the user to call into the
UPS from a remote location and enter Terminal mode. 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. The Housekeeping function maintains the link between the UPS and
modem.
