APC2200 and Linux

[Brian D. McGrew]

You'll either need an APC ShareUPS which is basically a serial splitter
that does smart signaling to one server for UPS monitoring and dumb
signaling to the rest of the servers for shutdown ... OR ... You can get
a UPS that has SNMP capabilities that all your servers can monitor.

Not sure about that model, but usually you'll need to connect to the ups
via 
the serial connection to set it up. Even if it has a web interface,
you'll 
probably need to first connect via telnet on a serial line.

We have a APC Symmetra and I use the powerchute 'network shutdown'
software. 
IIRC, after initial set up of the UPS, I can install the PowerChute
software 
on a server, then go to the web interface to the UPS (or telnet in) and
tell 
it to connect to and add the IP address of the server to the list of
systems 
to notify. However, the different models may use different iterations of

PowerChute.
