Network Management Card and Powerchute Single or Multi-Node?

[Anonymous user]

We recently purchased a Smart-UPS 2200 with the Network Management Card.

I have the network management interface up, and see where to enter in our server IP's.

My question, is do I install the single-node Powerchute on each server, or do I purchase a Delux multi-node license?

We have (6) servers on this UPS.

I'm slightly confused on what Powerchute gives me over the network interface, as some functionality seems to overlap (I think with the network card, I just use Powerchute for the communication to the card, as I would control all settings from the network interface)?

Correct, PowerChute Network Shutdown is the software designed to work with the network cards, which you should install on each of your servers. During the installation, the software will confirm it can communicate with the network card and, assuming it is able to, will automatically add your server's IP address to the list (it will give an error if it can't communicate).
