SRT3000XLI second integrated RJ45 port, what is it for?

Anonymous user · ‎2021-06-28

I have SRT3000XLI,

at the back side, it has two RJ45 ports and empty smart slot,

There is no info about this second RJ45 port,

The first one datasheet tells its for RJ45 serial port,

Anyone knows about it?

Hi Donny,

No, that second port has no functionality at the moment. For communication with Powerchute Network Shutdown you would still need to install a Network Management Card into the SmartSlot. With no NMC installed, this UPS only supports USB or Serial communication.

Hi Donny,

The second RJ45 port next to the Serial Port currently has no function, and is reserved for future use. By default, this unused port is usually covered by a small plastic cover:

So can I use it with powerchute network shutdown?

So no need to buy the network management card,
