HP powertrust ups serial connection
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

Re: HP powertrust ups serial connection
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 !
regards,

Re: HP powertrust ups serial connection
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
Update, found the pin out in another old UPS manual for any interested its
5061-2575 Pinout
DB-9 DB-9
Male Female
UPS Host
1 RX <--- 3 TX
2 TX ---> 2 RX
9 GND <--- 5 GND
