Summary
The UPS monitor feature works with APC UPS units that support “smart” signaling. This feature
enables the network administrator to monitor the UPS and set the router to ‘gracefully’ handle any
power outage with no corruption or damage to the router. The basic purpose of this feature is to
ensure that the router will come back online after an extended power failure. To do this, the router
will monitor the UPS and set itself to hibernate mode when the ‘utility’ power is down and the UPS
battery is has less than 10% of its battery power left. The router will then continue to monitor the
UPS (while in hibernate mode) and then restart itself after when the ‘utility’ power returns. If the
UPS battery is drained and the router loses all power, the router will power back to full operation
