NAS/APC program doesn't work.

[Turbo20VT]

Hello,

I have a APC/Smart-UPC 750, that I wanna connect with an program.
So when I'm home or something, and there is no Power more, and the UPS does his works, than I would like to see where that is.

Or, I would like to see an application that can tell me the status of the NAS.
I tried PowerChute, but I can't get in. I use the USB-cable.

Thanks.

Are you using "status of the NAS" to mean network storage?

Your UPS connective via USB can be monitored by a number of programs depending on the OS the UPS is connected to.

This should work, you sure have the correct version of PowerChute? You may have to configure it to say you have a USB cable.

In the past, APC have used custom (special) serial cables, I don't know since they moved to USB. May wanna read the manual. <gasp!>

You might try NUT instead...
