serial cable (NO USB) Explanation: Hi, the complete translation would be: Connect UPS through RS232 cable to COM1 port. (warning: use serial cable only, NO usb) Note: the RS232 is a specific standard for serial connection; also the USB is a standard but, according to the explanation provided in the sentence, would not work the same. Regards, Roberto -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 ore (2010-05-19 16:11:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Yes, it means "the USB cable shall not be used". It seems like a list of technical specifications, here, connecting a USB cable on a RS232 port may impair the correct operation of the device". Another way of saying this is "it is recommended to use serial cable only and not USB". Regards, Roberto |
