Review: Does its job - Better alternative to SmartConnect. Advice: increase the timeout for admin user from the default 3 to 60 minutes (maximum). 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. ## Features - Remote monitoring and control of an individual compatible APC UPS by connecting it directly to the network. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B083ZTFMLP | | Box Contents | Network Card | | Brand | APC | | Brand Name | APC | | Colour | Multicolor | | Connector Type | USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 70 Reviews | | Form Factor | Rack | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00731304355533 | | Item Dimensions | 12.1 x 11.4 x 3.8 Centimeters | | Item Type Name | UPS Management Adapter | | Item Weight | 0.65 Ounces | | Item Weight Unit of Measure | 0.65 Ounces | | Manufacturer | APC | | Manufacturer Part Number | AP9640 | | Model Number | AP9640 | | Number of Items | 1 | | UPC | 731304355533 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Wattage | 500 Watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** APC - **Voltage:** 2.4E+2 Volts (AC) - **Colour:** Multicolor - **Item Weight:** 2.8 Ounces - **Connector Type:** USB ## Images ![APC UPS Network Management Card 3, Newest Model 2020 (AP9640) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ho3cO5zXL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this come with temperature probe?** A: Yes, it does.
