I realize that I'm asking a million questions; my apologies.
How difficult is it to get additional UPS support into the code stream?
We have a data center UPS by Powerware. They have their own software and thus their own proprietary system. I've tried to find out if they 'emulate' an APC but haven't had luck.
Is there a way to install underlying Linux software at the console?
This is very very hard, as with requirments like this usually there would have to be large orders to make this type of inquiry happen. Though I am not saying this can’t happen, but it also will take allot of time as we have so many request with orders now. Send it to support and see if there is a possibility. I wish I had better news on the UPS support case.
