Options of establishing a connection to the SITOP UPS1600

Depending on the type, the SITOP UPS1600 provides either a USB interface or an Ethernet
interface.
Depending on the type, the SITOP UPS1600 communicates via USB or Ethernet with the
SITOP UPS Manager.
The SITOP UPS Manager supports the master-slave operation only for an existing Ethernet
connection. This permits, for example, a controlled shutdown of the computers in the
network by the applications started with the SITOP UPS Manager.

Establishing a connection via Ethernet

The SITOP UPS1600 requires an IP address for communication with the UPS Manager. This
is assigned by the network administrator. Use the Primary Setup Tool to configure the
SITOP SITOP UPS1600 interface.
