I simply want to connect to my APC SUA3000 Smart UPS to configure the networking so that I can monitor its statistics remotely. I know it sounds simple, and it sounds. Can ONLY use APC serial cables.) Once connected with the serial cable, I opened hyperterminal with the suggested settings and no luck.

Despite lots of reading-up, trial and error I can't seem to get my v6.2.(or a v6.1.3) server to see an APC Smartups on a com port. I've connected it via a Startech USB-Serial adapter (ICUSB2321F) and a pukka APC black db9 cable (940-0024C). Edge Fusion Software Drivers. I've checked that the UPS is communication correctly. Hi all, I have an old Ubuntu server (uname -r: 2.6.17-10-generic). We've been having issues with coming in in the morning and the thing has restarted or is off, so we have no Internet and had to restart it. I figured the APC BACK-UPS wasn't doing its job so last month we bought a shiny new Smart-UPS.
