It was a way to configure the UPS, similar to how you noted that Powerchute for accessing settings is only PC. After that I shutdown the VM and plug the UPS into the NAS.
I do have a PC workstation handy that if I get a longer USB cable I can connect to the UPS, that might be easier. If I do go that route what settings would you recommend I change on the UPS?
Just make sure you go to your synology NAS' product page on Synology, and double check the cyberpower compatible model #'s
The UPS I was going to go with was the Cyberpower CP1500EPFCLCD-UK. It is not on the Synology compatible list as far as I can see. However I did ask Cyberpower and they state it is compatible. Plus it's used by Marius Bogdan Lixandru, so I think it shoudl be okay...... ?
