I just replaced my previous APC,  with this one that doesn't have an USB port.

I was just wondering:
How to get management and Data info !!!

Depending upon your budget and requirements you may consider any of the Back-UPS Series UPS. The vast majority incorporate a USB port to use the APC PCPE / PCSS software. You may also use other third party software such as APCUPSD / NUT with the USB Serial port for more advanced features and integration.

If your budget allows you may also consider a enterprise class Smart-UPS Series of UPS: SMT, SMX, SRT.

Read the user manual and confirm the specific hardware you want supports APC Power Chute software. If so the minimum I/O will be a USB port. 

Other models offer a Smart Slot to install a (NMC) Network Management Card. Having this in place allows network access over the LAN / WAN via the built in web page. Other models the NMC is embedded into the hardware right out of the box.

Other UPS models offer the APC Smart Connect (Cloud Only) Portal Service. If the hardware supports this feature there will be a RJ45 Ethernet port on the back with a green cloud symbol. 

All of the Smart Connect Series devices have a (C) at the end of the model designation. 

The first 6 months is free to use this cloud only service. Afterwords you need to select a (paid) subscription plan: Basic, Standard, Advanced 

Some models support all three: USB / RJ50 Serial, Smart Slot (NMC), Smart Connect Cloud Portal Service.

While some very specific models support only Smart Connect. 🤦‍♂️👎 Lastly, as you’ve already experienced some models offer absolutely nothing to connect with?!? 🤢👎

I ordered today a Bx2200Mi with a USB. More or less the same price as the BVX2200LI-GR. 

It's also IEC as my previous BX1400UI, the Shucko was not the best!

Thanks for the answers!
