How to Correct Communication Lost Problems
Overview
PowerChute may constantly or frequently report an Unable to
Communicate with
UPS condition when PowerChute and the Management
Card have been installed together on a
UPS.
Constant Unable to Communicate Problem
1. Ensure that the cable between the computer and the UPS (or the
expansion chassis) is securely connected at both ends.
2. Ensure that the
UPS (or the expansion chassis) serial port is connected
to the same computer port used to connect the computer to the
UPS
when PowerChute was installed.
3. If step 1 or step 2 did not find the problem, reset the Management
Card.
4. If the problem persists, disconnect (or remove) the Management Card
and restart PowerChute. If the problem persists, go to step 5, and if the
problem clears, go to step 6.
5. If the problem persisted, see your PowerChute documentation to
remove and then reinstall PowerChute. If the problem continues, see
APC Worldwide Customer Support for information about how to
contact
