Configuring via the Monitoring Port
Introduction Using the Monitoring cable (supplied), you can connect the
Monitoring port of the Silcon Triple Chassis to a DTE
device to configure the chassis. (DTE stands for data termi-
nal equipment—a dumb terminal or a computer running
terminal emulation software.) After establishing communi-
cations with the Silcon Triple Chassis through the
Monitoring port (see “Establishing communications with
the Silcon Triple Chassis” on page 12), you will access the
Silcon Triple Chassis menu to change the UPS settings. The
next paragraphs in this section describe the configuration
procedure.
