FXM Communication Manual
 Introduction to FXM Computer Communication
There are several ways to connect a computer to the FXM UPS:
Use the RS-232 port to access the UPS’s command line system with Window’s
HyperTerminal or other terminal emulation program (see the operator’s manual for your
UPS for details).
Use the RS-232 port along with the Novus User Software installed on your computer.
The software is downloadable from www.alpha.com (Section 3).
If the optional, factory-installed optional FXM Communication Module is present, then
you can communicate with the UPS over a company intranet or the internet using a web
browser or with SNMP communications (Section 4).
All of these options are shown in Figure . below
