CheckUPS II Software
Each Powerware 9170 UPS ships with CheckUPS II software and an
interface cable. To begin installing CheckUPS software, see the
instructions accompanying the CheckUPS software CD-ROM.
CheckUPS software uses an RS-232 serial link to communicate with the
UPS, and (using Windows
) 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. If there is a power outage and the Powerware 9170
system battery power becomes low, CheckUPS software can
automatically shut down your computer system to protect your data
before the UPS Low Battery shutdown occurs.
RS-232 Communication
You can connect the Powerware 9170 system to a computer running
special terminal emulation software available from Powerware. The
Powerware 9170 system communicates with your computer using an
advanced binary protocol. For more information, contact your service
representative.
