Which of the above ports is connected to your computer? I looked at the specs on APC/India website and it does not mention any port thru which a computer can monitor for power outage.
RJ45 in the UPS and USB in my comp ;) How long will it take for you to understand that Indian websites SUCK. But it seems that my model is similar to this:

But it is NOT the same. I repeat, it is NOT the same. I had bought the UPS a year and a half ago and APC prolly has changed their models. My model clearly mentions Back UPS ES-500.

The techspecs mention this:
Communications & Management Interface Port(s) DB-9 RS-232,USB
Actually, my model is similar to their international version: http://www.apc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=BE500U
May be APC launched a cut down version of that model before they realized that it would turn out too expensive for them to put in the software to monitor the UPS.
Francis, you have the model Back UPS ES-500Y IN (Indianized version) and not Back UPS ES-500 which I have. That may be the problem...
