According to what I am reading, APC highly
reccomends using the PowerChute Small Business
Edtion. The network Powerchute works on the
network interface module that is purchased seperately.
On my old Back-UPS (APC) I used a older third
party software that could be setup as master and
slave. Hoever, it was only for simple signalling.
Supposedly Power chte will do the same but I
haven't found anything yet.
