Currently, the system only supports and communicates with Smart-UPS series by APC (American Power
Conversion Corp,
http://www.apc.com/
) and Magatec UPS.
TIP:
Connection with other vendors of UPS can work well, but they have no such
communication features with the system.
Now we support the traditional UPS via serial port and network UPS via SNMP. If using the UPS with serial
port, connect the system to UPS via the included cable for communication. (The cable plugs into the serial
cable that comes with the UPS.) Then set up the shutdown values for when the power goes out.
This table shows the available options and their descriptions.
