Solved: Which devices support USB communication with a computer?

gkd720 · ‎2024-03-24

I've done some basic searching, but I don't see a clear indication of which devices (e.g. BE600M1) support USB communication with the computer (e.g. a Synology NAS) they're power-backing up. I see (e.g., on Amazon) that many UPS's show a USB connection, but typically say they're a USB charger port. I'd like to know which devices actually can "talk" to the computer so that the computer has a chance of shutting down cleanly. I checked the Synology compatibility list for UPS's, and the BE600M1 is on it, but Amazon's description doesn't mention the capability explicitly. Thanks for any guidance.
