UPS Management modules?

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

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
Run HyperTerminal or any other console emulation software (like PuTTY).
Press the RESET button on the UPS Management Module.
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.
