Connecting the UPS Communications Port
The Compaq Pro UPS 500 includes a communications port for data exchange
with a host computer.
Connect the RS-232 UPS/computer interface cable (supplied) from the
communications port on the UPS to the appropriate communications port on a
host computer. See Figure 2-1.
CAUTION:
The Compaq Pro UPS 500 uses a standard RS-232 cable. To
avoid damaging the equipment, do not use the communications cables
supplied with other UPS models.
IMPORTANT:
The Compaq Power Manager Pro UPS software requires the
communications port to be appropriately cabled to a host computer.
NOTE:
Communications port connection is optional. Your UPS will function properly
without this connection. However, without this connection, the Compaq Power Manager
Pro UPS software will be unable to shut down connected equipment in the event of a
blackout.
