Remote Notification provides the UPS with the capability to use a standard off-the-shelf PC
modem as a telephone interface. The features provided by this option are as follows:

A

Call a remote terminal or pager based on programmable events and alarms.

A

Four separate, programmable notification groups (phone numbers).

A

Automatic answering (user−configurable) for access to the Terminal mode of the UPS.

A

Remote and local ability to clear Call Out alarms and events.

A

Error detection and correction for misconfigured and disconnected modems.

Remote Notification provides the user with the option of receiving alarms and notices at a
remote location. Using the Terminal mode, the user calls the UPS to perform basic
monitoring. In the event of a UPS alarm or notice, the user is notified at the remote
location. The UPS calls through the modem to the user’s computer or pager and leaves a
message.

Remote Notification is an extension of the Terminal mode with the additional support
algorithms necessary to control an external modem. Connection to the UPS is made when
a user calls the UPS on the phone. The user has exactly the same capabilities as if using a
terminal connected directly to the UPS RS−232 port.

Remote Notification differs from the basic Terminal mode with the addition the following
functions:

A

Call Answer – The Call Answer function allows the user to call into the UPS from a
remote location and enter Terminal mode.

A

Call Out – The Call Out function allows the UPS to be configured to call either a remote
computer or numeric paging service over the phone line. Call Out allows the UPS to call
a remote computer and leave a one-line descriptive message of the alarm or notice
condition. Numeric paging support allows the UPS to call a paging service and send
numeric messages.

A

Housekeeping – The Housekeeping function maintains the link between the UPS and
modem.
