Hello to this Forum!
I have the following question, we have different Smart-UPS SUA1500 with Network Management Cards connected in our Network.
For technical reasons it's not possible to install the Agent Software on the Servers directly connected to the UPS with Serial Cable.
Is there a software that can connect via Network directly to different UPS without the need to install the Agent-Software or can I only configure and monitor these UPS one by one with the Webinterface ?

Thanks for your answers

Hi h120,

If you do have network management card installed on your UPS's, the APC PowerChute Business Edition won't be able to help you out to centrally manage them. For our customers who would like to have centralized management of NMC's they can use ISX Central. Our NMC's are equipped with SNMP v1 and v3 as well which means that if you do have a Network Management Station, you can use the SNMP protocol for management as well.
