Hi Guys !
I have installed on one of our servers the "PowerChute Business Edition Deluxe".
I connected the first UPS and the application deteced it and that works great.
When I connect the second UPS the application does not detect this one ?
I tried to put the second UPS on another server, when I try to add the device either by IP address or hostname, that does'nt work...
Can I put two UPS on the same server ? Is someone could help me ?
UPS Specifications*:
- APC Smart-UPS 1500VA USB & Serial RM 2U 120V
- Back-UPS VS 500 Broadband
Thansk in advance !

What is the model # of the "Back-UPS VS 500 Broadband" ? Based on what I can tell, it's a BF500BB. This unit doesn't work with powerchute business edition. This unit will only work with powerchute personal edition. Either way, one computer/server cannot communicate with two UPS' using our software. Your smart ups unit has an option for a network management card that will allow you to manage the UPS over the network.
You can get the latest version below
