Re: [Apcupsd-users] Using the SU-3000's ethernet interface

[David W. <lui...@ya...>]

What version do you have?  If you are using 3.10.5 you
can do:
UPSTYPE net
DEVICE hostname-of-master

in apcupsd.conf for the machines plugged into the UPS,
but not connected to it with a cable.  The "master"
would be connected with a cable and running apcupsd
also.

You can find more info. in the comments in the default
apcupsd.conf and also at the website.
