4.1.4

Device (RPC, UPS, EMD) Mode

This mode configures the selected serial port to communicate with a serial controlled Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS),
serial Remote Power Controller/ Power Distribution Unit (RPC) or Environmental Monitoring Device (EMD)
• Select the desired Device Type (UPS, RPC or EMD)
• Proceed to the appropriate device configuration page (Serial & Network: UPS Connections, RPC Connection or
Environmental) as detailed in Chapter 8 - Power & Environmental Management. The B092-016 Console Server also
allows you to configure ports as UPS devices that PowerAlert will manage. PowerAlert will discover the attached UPS
device and auto-configure. See www.tripplite.com/EN/support/PowerAlert/Downloads.cfm for a complete PowerAlert
manual.
4.1.5

Terminal Server Mode

• Select Terminal Server Mode and the Terminal Type (vt220, vt102, vt100, Linux or ANSI) to enable a getty on the
selected serial port
The getty will then configure the port and wait for a connection to be made. An active connection on a serial device is usually
indicated by the Data Carrier Detect (DCD) pin on the serial device being raised. When a connection is detected, the getty
program issues a login: prompt, and then invokes the login program to handle the actual system login.
Note: Selecting Terminal Server mode will disable Port Manager for that serial port, so data is no longer logged for alerts etc.
