Installation
Installation of the UPS was very simple. I plugged in the UPS to the wall, connected up my four devices, connected the RS232 cable and turned on the UPS. I then booted up the computer and installed the software. It was that simple.

Software
Included with the UPS is Belkin's awesome management software. I can truly say this is some of the best UPS management software I have ever seen or had the chance to test.

There are so many features that it would take three times as many pages as this review to show them all to you. If you want, feel free to read the 46-page PDF file on all the features. I am just going to highlight some of the basic features.

(A) Configuration allows you to configure your UPS for running scheduled events, automatic notifications via e-mail, pager, and network upon certain UPS conditions such as failure. Set Internet connection port for monitoring, SNMP info, and more.
(B) Displays various meters of current temperature, battery level, output load, output voltage, etc.
(C) Displays the event log, which logs UPS events.
(D) Displays history of such things as battery voltage, battery level, output voltage, temperature, etc., for the period specified.
(E) Allows you to select to monitor a local UPS or one that is on a network.
(F) Displays current stats about the health of the UPS.
(G) Communication test results as well as battery status and AC status. (H) Displays the current battery level
(I) Displays the current load on the UPS
(J + K) Displays the current battery level - both can be changed to display different things.
(L) Recent Event Log displays the 10 most recent events
(M) Switches to the current displayed information
(N) Displays current information about the system and UPS as well as input and output in a tree format.
(O) Displays when the battery needs to be replaced, when the next scheduled tests, and restart are.
(P) Displays the current status of the UPS as well as what options are turned on like alarms
(Q) Displays a diagram of the battery voltage, level, as well as AC output, and input.
(R) Scrolls real time input and output voltage levels in a graph format.
(S) Displays the status of setup UPS systems on the network.

The above screenshot displays the action configuration page. It allows you to set various actions to be taken when UPS events happen. For example, when the UPS switches to battery power you can set it to send a SNMP trap, e-mail and page someone, or just shutdown your computer.

As I mentioned earlier, the software included with Belkin UPS's is very powerful.
