UPS Management modules?

[GlennWelker]

Sorry if this is the wrong forum.

Looking for help configuring out AF401A management modules for our UPS. I can't seem to connect to the module through the configuration port.

Connected config port to computer via usb-serial converter.

Using 115200 bits

8 data bit

parity none

stop bits 1

flow control none

Using Putty to connect. Push reset button. Seems to connect but we never see a post to continue with configuration.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

Following are the stesp required to enter HP UPS Management Module Service Menu

1. Connect a network cable in the "Config-PassThru" port on the UPS Management Module, and the other end to a server or laptop, with a RJ45 to DB9 serial converter.(Check the steps for connecting configuration cable on Page 21 of the user guide @ http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00865951/c00865951.pdf
2. Run HyperTerminal or any other console emulation software (like PuTTY).
3. Press the RESET button on the UPS Management Module.
4. On the session screen, the POST executes, and then a prompt appears. Press any key within 5 seconds to enter the HP UPS Management Module Service Menu.
