The following information applies to all APC Smart-UPS models. Most of this I personally tested using a Smart-UPS SC 1500 and a Smart-UPS 2200 (both are rack mount units).

Console Cables

To configure a Smart-UPS, you need to connect via console cable. Depending on your model, the unit may have a USB port, serial port, or both.

USB to RJ50 Cable

The Smart-UPS uses a non-standard USB to RJ50 cable, which looks exactly like an RJ45 but has 10 pins instead of 8. You might need to order one from APC. If you happen to have an RJ50 connector, you could make your own with the following pinout:

Serial Cable

Monitoring Using Apcupsd

Calibration

Line Input Sensitivity

Shutdown Scripts
