[Nut-upsuser] Eaton 5PX3000RTN and PW9130L3000R-XL2UN NUT compatibility via network
I am planning to purchase one of the following Eaton UPS units:
5PX3000RTN

PW9130L3000R-XL2UN
http://powerquality.eaton.com/PW9130L3000R-XL2UN.aspx?CX=3
Both of which bundle the NETWORK-MS card:

Can anyone speak to either UPS units' compatibility with NUT using TCP/IP?
One
UPS will be shared among multiple servers, so local connectivity is not
possible.
I do see HCL entries for both, but non-specific to network connectivity. There
is also a 5PX user posting which provides some indication of basic
compatiblility:

My primary objective is reliable network signaling to Linux for controlled
database shutdown on power loss.
This would be my first use of non-APC UPS equipment, and first use of NUT.
Thanks for any input, I'm eager to get one of these units in hand and start
working with NUT.
