7 Interfaces 
and 
communication 
7.1 Computer 
interfaces 
RS232 
The UPS offers various interfaces to manage the system and 
to comfortable readout state information and important 
parameters. The communication protocol is optimized for 
operation with the shutdown and UPS management software 
“CompuWatch” from AEG. To connect the UPS to your 
computer use the provided RS232 communication cable by 
attaching them to a free port of your pc. 
RS232 interface: The interface is connected via a 9 pole  
Sub-D connector on the back of the unit (pos. 4 p. 26). PINs: 
2 = RxD; 3 = TxD; 5 = GND. 
7.2

If the cover on the rear of the UPS is removed (pos. 8 p. 26), 
additional optionally available communication components 
can be installed there. 
AS/400 board:
 Slot card with status messages, realised via 
potential-free relay contacts 
USB board:
  Slot card for external USB connection 
SNMP board:

The usage of the communication slot deactivates 
the RS232 interface from chapter 7.1.

purposes by AEG continuously checks the mains supply and 
the UPS status.
