APC UPS Network Management Card 3

This works great. One caution, if you use probably any of these to update firmware through the web interface, consider resetting the web interface timeout. The default is 3 min and when you launch a firmware update (recalling from memory, as this was a while back) the process opens a new window/term and needs to run longer than the 3 min default timeout. Since this is on a managementy lan, not an issue to leave it at max timeout.

Justo el producto que necesitaba para monitorear mi UPS.

Better alternative to SmartConnect. Advice: increase the timeout for admin user from the default 3 to 60 minutes (maximum).

See title. The web interface seem slower (because it’s more secure) than the previous generation. To be fair, APC products last for ages even though they are deployed in less than idea situations.

As manufacturers continue to move to force customers to buy subscription licenses, it is always good to have an alternative. I bought this for my rack mount SMT1000, because I found out the "SmartConnect" functionality is crippled unless you pay. Although it is not a cheap option, this vendor is significantly cheaper than APC's list pricing. Installation was a breeze, having prepared the DHCP options in advance on my Unifi environment. I upgraded the firmware, set up SNMP for my QNAP NAS devices, SMTP for alerts, and set up preferences for load-shedding all within a couple of hours. I just need to complete a calibration so that I have an accurate idea of how long the battery will last with my current load. I saw that APC is saying that the firmware I installed is the last "free" update before forcing a support contract for future updates. I'm just a home user, so I'll be fine with what I have. Having battery backup for my NAS devices was the primary reason for this purchase; I now have peace of mind with the UPS, and the ability to control how the battery backup allows my QNAP devices to gracefully shut down in the event of a power outage.
