Ups Setup Configuration - Eaton Powerware 9315 Operation Manual

8.5 UPS Setup Configuration

Connect the modem to the UPS by connecting one end of the serial cable to the UPS
Port 2 DB−25F connector and the other to the modem (see Chapter 7, Serial
Communication"). If using a standard serial cable, a null modem adapter is required for the
connection to the modem.
The Powerware 9315 UPS can only use serial Port 2, DB−25F, for the Remote Notification
option. This connection is located in the serial communication panel at the base of the UPS
cabinet, behind the front door.
The modem operates at only one baud rate because there is no handshaking between the
modem and the UPS. Select the lowest common baud rate (less than or equal to
2400 baud) compatible with the capability of the UPS interface equipment. For example, if
the computer only has a 2400 baud modem, then the UPS should be set for 2400 baud.
Remember, the remote computer modem can always slow down to the UPS baud rate, e.g.,
a 14400 baud modem can run at 2400 baud, but a 2400 baud modem cannot run at
14400 baud.
Following the instructions in Chapter 5, Using the Monitor Panel" and Chapter 7, Serial
Communication," use the LCD screen and buttons on the Monitor Panel to access the
setup screen and configure Port 2 as follows.
The handshaking feature listed is for UPS-to-terminal handshaking, not UPS-to-modem
handshaking. Setting the handshaking to modem" has no effect. If the remote terminal
has buffering problems because of excessive data transfer rate from the UPS, XON/XOFF
handshaking can be selected to resolve this issue. The user must make sure that the
modem (not the remote terminal) at the remote terminal end of the connection is
configured for either hardware handshaking or none at all. This is required so that the
modem does not attempt to trap the XON/XOFF characters and prevent them from being
transmitted to the UPS.
