::This option determines that the server is connected to the UPS and sends a signal through the network to shut down other systems in the network.
:;Client 
::This option determines that the server reacts to a power down-signal from the UPS server.

:::User name allowed to connect from the slave UPS.
::;Password
:::Password for the user name above.

: 
:'''APC''' - This option works for all Smart UPS models and dumb UPSes with cables that support low battery detection (only testing can determine this point).
