7.3 LanSafe Power Management Software
Each Powerware 9315 UPS ships with LanSafe Power Management Software. To begin
installing LanSafe software, see the instructions accompanying the Powerware Software
Suite CD.
LanSafe software uses an RS-232 serial link to communicate with the UPS, and it provides
you with up-to-date graphics of UPS power and system data and power flow. It also gives
you a complete record of critical power events, and it notifies you of important UPS or
power information. With custom views for monitoring status and metering information,
various user groups can select the most useful view for their specific needs.
7.4 Connecting Equipment to a Serial Port
You can connect a wide variety of terminals, printers, and computers to each port, and
configure the UPS as the Data Communication Equipment (DCE). Set up the remote
equipment using the appropriate parameters for the mode you select. The following
section provides more information about configuration.
The cables you use for connection depend on the equipment you are connecting to the
UPS. Cables should be no longer than 16m (50 ft). The connectors for Port 1 and Port 2 on
the Communication Panel in the UPS are female, so the cables should be male. Figure 7-3
shows the pin assignments for Port 1, and Table 7-1 describes them. Figure 7-4 shows the
pin assignments for Port 2, and Table 7-2 describes them.
