There is not 
, but I've suggested it for the future roadmap as it is very valuable, especially in your situation being remote. We urge customers to test (as I've done) and then there is no good way to test!
The best you could do remotely is command the UPS to turn off via the AP9630 NMC (and select the option for signaling powerchute clients) and then when the UPS output turns off, the NMC will still be accessible to turn it back on until the UPS becomes braindead (which I don't think will happen as long as AC power is actually present). Alternatively, you could issue a reboot command and do the same thing with signaling your Powerchute clients to turn off and then have the UPS output come back on after the return delay (which then if your servers' BIOSs are set to return to last state when AC returns, they should come back on).
The only thing this does not account for is testing of how long the UPS will actually run on battery up to that low battery point. You'd be simulating basically from low battery on and be able to verify communication, shutdown delays, etc.
Hope this helps.
