WARNING _ DO NOT USE UPS Feature on MT

Fri Mar 26, 2021 8:31 pm

I loaded the package and connected the UPS (once via APC, once via Cyberpower), to the USB connection on the MY CCR1009. Both times when I pulled the plug on the APC, to test, the router rebooted and the second time it caused the switch connected to the router to lose some of its configuration. There is something funky going on in the CCR1009 when talking with either APC. Suggest avoid using it if you don't like unpleasant results.

The UPS package is only designed for APC USPes, not any others.

The APC one also caused the router to reboot but I take your point on the cyber power...... too funny.
They should call the package APC UPS and not UPS LOL.

I have cyberpower UPS connected to my home RBD52G and it is stable. In the office, I had some random reboots which were caused by the UPS communication in the past (interestingly same RB and UPS) . I guess it depends on more things, possibly even unrelated config which will affect the behavior.

I have the CCR1009’s + some other gear connected to my “rack power bar” which rack power bar is connected to my UPS’s ... yep I have 5 UPS’s that protect my network ... I have had a number a power outages and never a problem ... yep I agree that the USB CCR method is not one that I would recommend.
