This version of PowerChute replaces PowerChute Business Edition and PowerChute Personal Edition for Windows OS only. Other OS will be supported over time.

The communication method for a Smart-UPS can be Serial or USB. For a Back-UPS, only USB communication is supported. 

The version is web-based—the same as the PowerChute Business Edition Agent since the release of Agent version 9.5. 

I have attached a copy of the release notes, the Introduction, the Brochure, and the Compatibility chart. 

NOTE: We are still processing the Users and Installation Guides. They should be available in a few days.

Hello BillP,

Not too long a ago, I purchased a Back-UPS BGM1500 and was using PCPE on my old PC. 

While moving everything to a new PC, I discovered the following in the PCSS user manual:

Then what software should be used with a BGM1500??

Thanks in advance,

Pete

PowerChute Serial Shutdown is compatible with the BGM1500. See Schneider Electric FAQ FA315835

Any news on a version for Linux? Since release all I have seen is a link for an RPM key, not a package, but nothing explaining how to use it or anything else about it.
