Dear Sir,

About APC UPS, please confirm the RS-232 cable come with APU together, it is not general RS-232 cable.

u need a straighthrough cable, no crossed wires or it wont work.

Or You install the APCUPSD module - then You can connect also via USB cable

Many thanks all,

The cable that came with the UPS is RJ45 to USB. Flat rather than square in shape.

I recently loaded the latest 5200 firmware (N5200_N5200PRO_FW_2.00.15)and cannot seem to get any modules to load. Any advice here greatly appreicated as I would love to try the APCUPSD - it looks like just what I need.

regards

Kelvin
