Communication with UPS over Ethernet?

[thomas-hn]

Hello,

in the hardware guide it is mentioned "TrueNAS provides the ability to communicate with a battery-backed, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) over a traditional serial or USB connection to coordinate a graceful shutdown in the case of power loss.".
However, does someone know if TrueNAS also supports communicating with an APC Smart UPS 1000VA SMT1000I over Ethernet?
The UPS is equiped with an AP9630 Network Management card.

Thanks in advance,

Thomas

Although it might be easier to use the APC USB to Serial cable connected to a NUT Master, then slave it out to other clients,
