The Powerware 9355 has serial communication capabilities through the
DB-9 communication port or through an X-Slot card in one of the
available bays. In addition, the Powerware LanSafe Power Management
Software can be installed and used to communicate with the UPS via
one of the serial communication connections.
The UPS supports two serial communication devices according to the
following table:

NOTE You can configure relays, signal inputs, and the serial port baud rate through the
front panel menus (see Table 8 on page 70).
DB-9 Communication Port
To establish communication between the UPS and a computer, connect
your computer to the UPS communication port using the supplied
communication cable.
When the communication cable is installed, power management
software can exchange data with the UPS. The software polls the UPS
for detailed information on the status of the power environment. If a
power emergency occurs, the software initiates the saving of all data
and an orderly shutdown of the equipment.
