7.5.1

Mode

The operational mode of the port. Each communication port operates in one of the
following modes:

Terminal Mode

System events are logged immediately as they occur.

System Configuration
Mode

Allows you to set building alarms, battery tests, etc. 
(Check with your sales or service representative for availability.)

Calibration Mode

Used only by service personnel.

Computer Mode

Provides a proprietary Binary Computer Mode (BCM) Interface.

Remote Monitor Mode

Sends all system event information to an RMP, RIM, or SCM.
Available for Port 1 only.

Port 1 and Port 2 cannot be in the same mode simultaneously; they must always be
operating in different modes. The modes are described later in this chapter.

7.5.2

Rate

The baud rate of the equipment connected to this port. The baud rate determines the
speed of data transferred between the UPS and the connected equipment. For Remote
Monitor mode, the baud rate must be set to 300. All other modes should operate at the
highest baud rate available with the connected equipment. 300 baud is not recommended
for any mode except Remote Monitor.

You can select a baud rate of 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, or 19200.
