Terminal Mode - Powerware 9390 Installation & Operation Manual

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 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.

12.4 Terminal Mode

In Terminal Mode, the user can request the following:
12.4.1 Display UPS Control Panel
When this function is invoked, a facsimile of the UPS control panel is displayed on the
terminal screen. All controls are functional and will control the UPS remotely. The only
exception is the Load Off control which requires the operator to press and hold the local
control for two seconds to shut down the UPS.
To remotely control the UPS or view UPS information, use the escape key legend to
control the function normally controlled by the control panel softkeys. See Chapter 8,
"Using the Control Panel," for instructions on navigating the control panel.
