How to shut down Smart-UPS from Win7

[Anonymous user]

Hi!

I have an SUA1000RMI1U which is connected to a single box running Win7 Embedded. Currently we use Serial Port and we just evaluate its Event Log entries to react on power loss events.

I'm looking for a possibility to issue a shutdown command to the UPS. This could/should be done within a Powershell script or similar. 

Is there some kind of API or CLI for that model? Which software do I need for this? 

Thanks,

Daniel

If you have or purchase a network management card, there are a lot of options include SNMP and a command line interface. Otherwise, I would look into apcupsd.
