We have an Eaton powerware UPS 10kva supporting our computer room stuff. Its
on the network, can be interrogated and configured via a web browser, and
can be set to send emails whenever its status changes....doubt that it can
tell 3000 its time to go bye-byes though. I believe it can be set up with
some optional fittings to call a phone no when its goes onto batteries.
Actually made in Finland.
We ran it unloaded for a day or two after installation, and within 24 hours
it made a load BANG, lost all its internal smoke and died....a rectifier on
the main board gave up. Been ok under load now for months.

hi all!

it looks like i'm going to be able to buy a ups to attach to one of my
remote mpe systems.

i'm wondering if anyone has any words of advice or gotchas?  am i correct in
thinking that no matter what brand i buy, none of them will successfully
'talk' directly to an mpe system?  (making upsutil/upscnfig of questionable
value <sigh>)  has anyone managed to architect a solution where a 'modern'
(snmp-enabled?) ups that's starting to run low can actually 'tell' the mpe
system it's protecting it's time to shutdown?          - d
