HP powertrust ups serial connection

[bigbo]

Hi

I have recently been given a HP Powertrust A2994A ups, built like a tank and quite old but should serve me well.

However I cannot get HP Power Manger to connect with it. After a lot of time trawling the net I have been unable to find either a manual or the serial port pin outs as I gather these are non standard serial cables.

Has anybody got a copy of the manual or know what the pin out should be.

Many thanks

David

hi,

What do you want to connect to it? If You want to connect it to a D-series, you should use 5061-2575, which is a
9 pin female to 9pin male.

 

Thanks !

There are 2 cables listed:

5061-2575 RS-232 cable, DB9 9-pin male/DB9 9-pin female (2.5 meter)

5061-2569 RS-232 cable, DB9 9-pin male/DB25 25-pin male (2.5 meter)

Many thanks to both of you for your swift responses.

That confirms the cable I need however they are not that commen or easy to get hold of.

So I thought I would make up my own thats the reason I want to know the pin out.

I will be connecting to a windows server so it will be db9 male to db9 female.

Regards

David
