The item is reliable. The design has been around for a while and is stable. But old design. I scored a disused APC UPS and now it network reports so my Synology NASs will sleep when there is a power failure which is really cool. The setup is a mission.

The AP9617 does exactly what I wanted, but it wasn't as simple as plug and play. This device, being older, required some updating to get it to work with current browsers. The one I purchased hadn't been reset to factory defaults and there was no indication of what its IP address was. Pressing the reset button on the back for 20 seconds only resets that username and password to factory defaults, not the IP address. The APC software didn't detect the device when it was plugged into the network and I began to think I had a dead unit. To figure out the IP address, I ended up plugging a computer directly into the card and used Wireshark to analyze the packets for traffic coming from the AP9617. Once I had that, I was good to go.

This card worked perfectly. I had to manually reset the password and the networking but this was not unexpected.

The cards work fine for monitoring ups units. Some are difficult to set up by the network method and their IP Utility. No problems setting up if you have the special APC serial cable.

Be sure you have the right cable, as these cards are used and can only be reset via a special serial cable. Card works as advertised. No issues.
