Network Switch

[jabad]

Hi Experts,

Do we recommend the use of a Network Switch to a Back-UPS?

For example:

Switch D-Link DGS-1510-28X – 2 vnt. 

Access point D-Link DAP-2680 with D-Link DPE-301GI Gigabit PoE Injector – 4 vnt.

Your question is not very precise or clear in the ask so will offer some general information and guidance.

All network related hardware should be protected by a UPS. To allow the end use the ability to shutdown equipment gracefully during a grid down event.

The Back-UPS Series UPS do not offer any networking ability to manage the system. Management is done via serial connection through a USB port using APC Power Chute Software such as PCSS, PCPE, third party like NUT / APCUPSD.

Some APC Back-UPS have RJ45 (In / Out) Ethernet surge protection. These ports are NOT for POE however. ☝️
