Re: SmartUPS 700 will not turn on

I had the same issue that the SMART-UPS 700 would not turn on after a shutdown, pressing the poweron switch had no effect. You could however see that the LED from the serial port was on, so when you access the serial interface with either the APCTEST ( from apcsupsd ) or by hyperterminal (It's standard RS-232 serial communications at 2400 bps/8N1). De command to remote poweron the APC is ^N ^N ( 2x with 1.5 sec delay in between, you might give it a few tries, because it sensitive for the 1.5 sec delay)
