I am considering buying APC BR800-IN (880VA/550W) for my Linux WS. It
has an USB port for monitoring purpose.
Is anyone using this model successfully with Linux (apcupsd or nut)?
Any other brand/model (same capac. range) that is Linux friendly
(compatible with apcupsd/nut)?
TIA for your input.

Hey arun,
I am using APC Back-UPS ES500. No probs till now. Works perfectly well
with my Fedora Core 2 and apcupsd. I get it to shutdown after a while
when there is a power outage. Works pretty well. Happy customer here :)
Regards,

There are three interfaces - 1 RJ45, 2 RJ11. They are on the right hand
side of the UPS. Its the end opposite to where the power cable goes
inside the UPS.

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:
http://www.apc.com/products/family/index.cfm?id=21
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.
http://www.apc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=BE650Y%2DIN
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...
