APC 2200 Monitoring Software

[Anonymous user]

Hi,

Is there any software to monitor an APC 2200 that doesn't have a Network Management Card but has a serial port? I currently have a server connected to the UPS via a serial cable. I was wondering if there was something I could install on the server to monitor the UPS.

Anything?

Thanks!

hi..yes, you'd need to look at PowerChute Business Edition. you can start here and chose Software Upgrades - PowerChute Business Edition and then select submit. It will ask you to choose the software for your OS. If you only have this one device, I recommend just installing the "Agent" portion which you can access afterwards via a web browser on the client or remotely from another machine via IP.

this gives you monitoring capability, email, and graceful shutdown.

hope that helps.

Use Powerchute Plus It's a lot better than PCBE

you can use powerchute plus if it is supported on your OS but the software is old and we can only support it to a certain extent because of that.
