It works very well for me (with a Belkin-branded APC unit). With mine, I ended up using the serial interface. If there is trouble, it will be finding what magic control number to use (in the configuration file). But, tools are included with the package to test communication. For clients, apcupsd works flawlessly for me. All the computers go through shutdown routines and power down when the master gives the signal! (I think it is unique in this feature, but I do not remember.) I think there is an apcd for the SmartUPS series even though apcupsd has configs for SmartUPS too (though I do not remember much--I hooked up the UPS a few years ago). I know there are compatibility problems when APC ships new versions of the protocol, or when APC units are re-branded. Maybe someone here knows about the specific model: APC Smart-UPS 2200VA USB & Serial 230V
