Remote Notification

13.1

Description

Remote Notification provides the user with the option of receiving alarms and

notices at a remote location. Remote Notification operates through a standard

computer modem. 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 (refer to Chapter 12,

“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 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.
