Title: APC ups SMC1000I / SMC1500I Firmware update & other tips
Post by: Kiriakos GR on November 24, 2016, 06:29:49 PM
I am taking the opportunity in this topic to create a list of my findings regarding SMC1500I inner software world  ;)
This would be an gradually expanding topic regarding content, as much I am discovering that much will be posted.

a) Interesting first find this is that UPS this has active USB port even when this is completely powered off (due front panel controls)
 
b) Windows identify USB connection by device name of:  HID\VID_051D&PID_0003\8&16C6F354&0&0000

c) APC website has a dedicated page with information relative to ups firmware updates: http://www.apc.com/us/en/faqs/content/?id=FA281865
