Communication Ports
MX Frame provides 4 communication methods.
1. The RS232 port provides communications using EATON Serial HID UPS transfer (SHUT) protocol. The SHUT
protocol is compatible with the power management applications available on the enclosed Solution-Pac 2
CD-Rom.
2. The Output contacts port is used for basic signaling or for protection of IT systems like IBM iSeries (formerly AS400)
and more.
3. The USB port is compatible with the power management applications available on the enclosed Solution-Pac 2
CD-Rom.
4. The two slots are compatible with the optional 66102 – Network Management Card (NMC) 2006 Edition, and the 66104
– Management Card Contact and RS232/Serial.
Note: All communications options can be used simultaneously except for the SHUT RS232 and USB port. If both the
i
USB and SHUT ports are connected, then the USB takes control.

When the status is active, the contact between the common (Pin 5) and the relevant information pin is closed.
Output relays specifications:
Voltage: 48 V DC max,
◗
Current: 2 A max,

1. Connect the RS232 (42) cable to the serial port on
the computer equipment, or connect a USB (44) com-
munication cable (not provided by EATON) to the
USB port on the computer equipment.
2. Connect the other end of the RS232 cable (42) to the
RS232 (5) communication port, or connect the USB
cable (not provided by EATON) to the USB port (7)
on the UPS.
The UPS can now communicate with various EATON
power management application software.
Please note that Personal Solution-Pac can be used to
configure (personalize) the UPS parameters such as
voltage, frequency, battery test, etc. See Section 4.6 for
more details.
