Operation:

• DTR is "cable power" and must be held at SPACE. DSR or CTS may be used as a loopback input to

determine if the cable is plugged in.

• DCD is the "battery low" signal to the computer. A SPACE on this line means the battery is low. This

is signalled by BATTERY-LOW being pulled down (it is probably open circuit normally).

Normally, the transistor is turned off, and DCD is held at the MARK voltage by TxD. When

BATTERY-LOW is pulled down, the voltage divider R2/R1 biases the transistor so that it is turned on,

causing DCD to be pulled up to the SPACE voltage.

• TxD must be held at MARK; this is the default state when no data is being transmitted. This sets the

default bias for both DCD and SHUTDOWN. If this line is an open circuit, then when BATTERY-LOW

is signalled, SHUTDOWN will be automatically signalled; this would be true if the cable were plugged

in to the UPS and not the computer, or if the computer were turned off.

• RTS is the "shutdown" signal from the computer. A SPACE on this line tells the UPS to shut down.

• RxD and RI are both the "power-fail" signals to the computer. A MARK on this line means the power

has failed.

• SPACE is a positive voltage, typically +12V. MARK is a negative voltage, typically -12V. Linux

appears to translate SPACE to a 1 and MARK to a 0.
