Phone Line or Phone/Network Line Surge Suppression
Your UPS has jacks which protect against surges on a phone
line.* Using appropriate telephone or network cords, connect
your wall jack to the UPS jack marked "IN." Connect your
equipment to the UPS jack marked "OUT." Make sure the
equipment you connect to the UPS's jacks is also protected
against surges on the AC line.
* Not compatible with PoE (Power Over Ethernet) applications.
Note: Use the same type of connector for the phone line surge suppression input
and output ports.
2 USB and RS-232 Serial Communications
Use the included USB cable (see
cable (see 2b ) to connect the communication port of your
computer to the communication port of your UPS. Install on
your computer the Tripp Lite PowerAlert Software appropriate to
your computer's operating system. Your UPS may feature
additional communications ports; these ports may be
connected to additional computers that have PowerAlert
Software installed. Consult your PowerAlert manual for more
information.
2c RS-232 Dry contact communications are simple, but some
knowledge of electronics is necessary to configure them. The
RS-232 port's pin assignments are shown in the diagram. If
the UPS battery is low, the UPS sends a signal by bridging pins
8 and 5. If utility power fails, the UPS sends a signal by
bridging pins 1 and 5. To shut the UPS down remotely, short
pin 3 to pin 9 for at least 3.8 seconds. Additional functions of
these pins can be configured through the LCD or via Web
management accessory card communication.
