Review: Bought this to manage SMX1500RM2, more reasonable price for this updated model. - This works great. One caution, if you use probably any of these to update firmware through the web interface, consider resetting the web interface timeout. The default is 3 min and when you launch a firmware update (recalling from memory, as this was a while back) the process opens a new window/term and needs to run longer than the 3 min default timeout. Since this is on a managementy lan, not an issue to leave it at max timeout.
Review: A better alternative to paying for subscriptions - As manufacturers continue to move to force customers to buy subscription licenses, it is always good to have an alternative. I bought this for my rack mount SMT1000, because I found out the "SmartConnect" functionality is crippled unless you pay. Although it is not a cheap option, this vendor is significantly cheaper than APC's list pricing. Installation was a breeze, having prepared the DHCP options in advance on my Unifi environment. I upgraded the firmware, set up SNMP for my QNAP NAS devices, SMTP for alerts, and set up preferences for load-shedding all within a couple of hours. I just need to complete a calibration so that I have an accurate idea of how long the battery will last with my current load. I saw that APC is saying that the firmware I installed is the last "free" update before forcing a support contract for future updates. I'm just a home user, so I'll be fine with what I have. Having battery backup for my NAS devices was the primary reason for this purchase; I now have peace of mind with the UPS, and the ability to control how the battery backup allows my QNAP devices to gracefully shut down in the event of a power outage.
