Optional Remote Notification
NOTE: The optional RS---232 serial communication port is required to use
this feature.
Remote Notification provides the user with the option of receiving alarms and
notices at a remote location. Remote Notification also provides some basic
controls that can be performed remotely on the UPS. Remote Notification operates
through a standard computer modem. Using the Terminal mode, the user calls the
UPS to perform basic monitoring and control. 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 (refer to Chapter 13,
“Serial Communications”. 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 optional UPS RS---232 port. Remote Notification
differs from the basic Terminal mode with the addition of Call Answer, Call Out, and
Housekeeping functions. The Call Answer function allows the user to call into the
UPS from a remote location and enter Terminal mode. 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. The Housekeeping function maintains the link between the UPS and
modem.
