I would strongly recommend this product for anyone who has Smart UPS
I've installed these in about 15 Smart-UPS's now and contrary to the instructions they are hot-swappable which really makes the difference for me.
As a network interface to a compatible APC UPS, though, it does its job and does it quite well.
Bought a used model for an APC Smart-UPS ATX 500 Power Supply SMT750RM2U. Card initially configured itself using DHCP, then I changed it to static IP through the browser UI

Note: Unless you pair this with a compatible APC UPS, it is absolutely a one-star product.

It is similar price to some stand-alone monitoring products that you may want to check out if you need more than APC offers, or don't have a management capable APC device.

We suspected there were problems, but were surprised by the frequency and severity reported by this beautiful little device
Great Device

Installation was fine and item is working as expected
Installation was easy, and I preset an IP address for the card using its MAC address on my DHCP server, so I was able to immediately browse to it and configure it using the web browser interface
