2.5  Connecting the RS-232 Port
With the Alphamon software, you can remotely control the unit with RS-232 communications. It
supports Windows 95/98/ME/2000/NT/XP, Novell NetWare or Linux. The CD that came with the
unit contains installation instructions. Only use the connection cable that came with the unit.
TIP: If the optional USB port is used, the RS-232 port is automatically disabled.

2.6  Network Connection
The rear panel’s Network Transient Protector allows the unit to be connected to a network. It
uses a single RJ-45 (10BaseT) network card. Plug the input connector to the “IN” connector and
the output connector to the “OUT” connector.
Two communication cards can be installed. The SNMP card allows control and management
over a network or the internet. The AS/400 card allows voltage free relay contacts. Contact
Alpha Technologies for more information and availability.
