BestDock

TM

The Fortress’s BestDock communication slot accepts optional communication cards, like the
internal BestLink SNMP/WEB adapter. The insertion of a card into the BestDock communication
slot replaces the normal communication channel from the Fortress’s DB-9 Communication Port.
The DB-9 port becomes the connection point for configuring the card in the BestDock.

Troubleshooting

If you have a question or problem, the troubleshooting table may help. (See Table 3.) If you need

the model number and serial number (located on the rear of the unit) available.

If the unit must be returned, Best Power will give you a Return Materials Authorization (RMA)
