This document describes the cable for MGE smart protocols : UTalk (ASCII),
|
|
and SHUT (Serial HID UPS Transfer, binary) .
|
|
|
|
First notice that MGE UPS SYSTEMS supply a standard cable, bundled with
|
|
the UPS unit and compatible with MS Windows and Unices (Ref 66049). For
|
|
more information, see below note about serial cable, PnP and Unix.

Notes
|
|
-----
|
|
- this is a universal serial cable, so it should work with
|
|
any MGE serial model.
|
|
- max. length of cable is 1,80 m.
|
|
- Computer pin 6 (RTS) is reserved for PnP use, which could
|
|
trouble communication on some Unices if cabled. However, new
|
|
models (such as Ellipse, Evolution, Pulsar and Comet EXtreme,
|
|
EXtreme C, ...) handle this, so you can safely cable pin 6 or
|
|
use a standard (bundled) "windows" cable (Ref 66049). |
