Hi all,
I have an APC SUA1000UXI ups. I see that I can connect it to my RB751g-2hnd router running router os 5.19.
I am a tad confused about one thing. Will the router act as a snmp server if I connect the ups to it and enable snmp on the router?

Have had similar issue where i connect a APC ups (750 series APC) to the RB493G (running 4.17 but am testing 5.17/5.19/5.20 using a powered USB hub as the 493g usb isnt powered on-board without mod) where the MT uder the UPS tab isnt reading the APC correctly, on the 4.17 / 5.17 it reads status data but doesnt update if “on battery”.. but on 5.20 isnt able to read it at all
bit of a mystery as when i plugged in the usb to my RB751G under 5.16 it read it fine also, but upgrade doesnt like it LOL,
ive got a script shedualed to check the usb/ups for changes but this script obv wont notify as the MT sees no changes

Hi Kev,
The solution I am planning to implement is to have a computer that acts as a UPS server. This computer will have the ups connected directly to it via USB. The computer will run apcupsd from http://www.apcupsd.org. When a shutdown event is detected, I will run a program to shutdown the router. I am trying to write such a program in visual basic .net since that is the only language I am familiar with. I have used other languages like python but need to revise significantly to do anything useful. I want something quick and dirty.
