Getting a large UPS to be monitored via the network
This may be rather simple to answer, basically I have a liebert AP366 and AP356, however I can not find their manuals online anywhere. Does anyone know how I would go about getting these on the network so they can be monitored remotely?

They look to be the older ones with RS-485, as when I open the front I see a female db25 connector. But nowhere on the board is a RJ-45 port

What kind of interface does the AP356/366 have? That will affect which monitoring tool you can use. The older ones had an RS-485 interface which is a bi-directional - half duplex - multi-drop communications over a single or dual twisted pair cable used for data acquisition.
Here's some info on RS-485

Newer ones can have an Ethernet port and can be monitored via SNMP and that link has some software.
