Hi
I recently have had a few issue with power at a remote site and decided to install the above software to monitor/eliminnate the UPS.
I have an APC Smart UPS connected (via serial) to the server (W2K) with the agent and server software installed.
The problem i have is that during setup Powerchute provides no option to detect or add a UPS via any other method than USB.
Ive tried to add manually through the console after installation but this provides a network lookup method.
I'd love to use either a USB or network connection method but my model of UPS doesn't have these ports.
My gut feeling is a simple comms issue between UPS and server, would I be able to select Serial cable if the equipment was setup ok?
Has anybody had similar issue or know of any fixes etc,
Or, is there anyway to check comms between the equipment through W2K?
thanks in advance guys!
