Need a Freeware APC software

Question

I have a SmartUps 750

I have it hooked up with the drivers installed works great but would like to be able to see visual stats via pc.

I have the USB cable connected.

I've read that APC Powerchute Personal Edition would be good but cant seem to download it off their site is there any other alternatives I could use. Im using it as a power-backup for my Backup Server.

Or possibly a way to get this download?

Okay I found an Alternative that works well below.

The alternative is called BatteryMon It's does everything that it needs to

• Monitors battery charge
• Tells you detailed stats
• Has email notifications
• let's you monitor as many backup systems as you would like.
• Keeps logs with times and tempratures

If anyone would like to list any other Alternatives I will always be open to them.

Answer 1

You haven't indicated the OS you want to monitor the UPS with, but explore both NUT and apcupsd in linux and bsd.

1. NUT may be found at http://networkupstools.org/ and I see there's now a windows build too.

2. apcupsd is found at http://www.apcupsd.org/ and there is an OSX and Windows build.

3. to use the UPS support built into windows. Its not stunning but simple signalling like "ON-BATT" and "LOW-BATT" should make the OS do the right thing. Its been in windows since NT4. and probably earlier, although it appears to be deprecated on win7 and later.

4. Another option for you is that bigger UPSs support an SNMP management card, which makes your UPS a network-attached device, and multiple clients may monitor the UPS status using SNMP. APC's docs say that your SmartUPS 750 does have the slot for this.

May not be possible for other users, because smaller UPS may not have an expansion slot and are limited to serial or USB connectors.

This allows for one decently large UPS to serve many physical clients without needing a separate UPS for each.
The expansion card has product code AP9630 andlooks like this:

Or an AP9631 which has environmental monitoring connectors

Details on that one are http://www.apc.com/shop/nz/en/products/UPS-Network-Management-Card-2-with-Environmental-Monitoring/P-AP9631

Downside: they're not cheap, and they're hardware not software as per this stack's purpose. However being able to ping your UPS, or SNMP probe it, is pretty cool. Maybe you already have this card? Worth checking.
