12.10 Remote Notification

For connection and setup of a modem, or to enable Remote Notify and Call Home
features within the UPS, please contact Eaton (see page 1-7).

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:

S

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

S

Four separate, programmable notification groups (phone numbers)

S

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

S

Remote and local ability to clear Call Out alarms and events

S

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 an RS-232 port.

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

S

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

S

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.

S

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