According to one aspect, embodiments herein provide a power device comprising an input, power circuitry, a plurality of outlets, a network module configured to be coupled to a network, a controller coupled to the plurality of outlets, the power circuitry and the network module, the controller configured to operate the power circuitry to provide output power to the plurality of outlets derived from input power, provide a management interface to a management system via the network module and the network, the management interface configured to allow an operator to provide an indication of a type of equipment coupled to each one of the plurality of outlets, and display, via the management interface, a plurality of network configuration options in a layout based on the indication of the type of equipment coupled to each one of the plurality of outlets provided by the operator.

System and method to improve network reliability

Methods and systems for detection of a status of a device connected to a USB port of a UPS are described herein. The method includes detecting whether a device is connected to the USB port, based on the detection, receiving, at the UPS, information from the device; determining whether the device is configured as a host device supplying power, a host device requiring power or a peripheral device, and based on the determination, configuring the USB port of the UPS.

Systems and methods for automatic detection of a device

Systems and methods of providing power with an uninterruptible power supply are provided. The uninterruptible power supply includes a first input to receive an input AC voltage from a power source, the input AC voltage having an associated phase angle, and a second input to receive an input voltage from a backup power source. The uninterruptible power supply also includes an output. The output provides output power derived from power from at least one of the power source and the backup power source. The uninterruptible power supply also includes an inverter coupled to the backup power source, a relay and a controller. The relay is configured to couple the first input with the output in a first position, and to couple the inverter with the output in a second position. The controller is configured to detect a voltage swell condition of the input voltage, and responsive to detection of the voltage swell condition, control the relay to switch from the first position to the second position during a predefined range of phase angles of the input AC voltage.

UPS mechanical transfer relay arc mitigation

Systems and methods of re-enumerating peripheral devices operatively connected to a computer system are provided. In one example, a system is configured to disable an existing connection between an operating system and a peripheral device established through a device driver by re-describing the peripheral device to the OS. In another example, the system can be further configured to execute operation(s) on the peripheral device without new driver installation using communication channels native to the OS. Once the operation(s) are complete, the system can be configured to restore the existing connection.
