For APC models that have USB ports, the "silence" programming is in the
UPS. If you connect it to a PC and tell it to be silent, it will remain
silent thereafter whether connected to the PC or not, at least as long
as there isn't a total loss of all power to the UPS (e.g. battery
becomes completely discharged).


For the Cyberpower I bought - that's how it looked. I installed sw on a
backup image ( so it doesn't show ( not connected every time I boot), ,
hooked up USB2 cable, chose " Disable all alerts" and shutdown pc - hooked
up the UPS in living room and when I unplugged it / back in - no beep -
great! (My APC had only rj45 and 2 rj12 jacks)

Thanks

Rank,

Do you know ...
If I hook each up to my PC, then program it , will those settings work
WITHOUT a PC ? Or is it their software that controls it ( with a PC)
via the external cable ? Would you know: if I program it - after the
batteries discharge will it 'remember' or need to reprogram it each
time ?
I couldn't find that answer at apc.com
I'll check their site again, but I remember scrolling thru their
Knowledge Base until I was seeing W98/NT issues - pre my models and
found no info on 'ALARM'

Thanks
