Hello. I am planning my backup power strategy in case of a power failure. I have all my equipment set, but now I need to figure out how to handle my apex.
My plan is to buy a 12v power supply from Neptune (unless I can find one somewhere else cheaper?). Plug that into the wall and test for loss of power to the 12v supply using the 'power monitor' feature. If I lose power to the 12v, I want the apex to send me an email.
As I understand it I should hook up a eb8 to a UPS, and hook up the apex to the eb8 via aquabus. That way the apex is powered by the eb8, which is powered by the UPS, when the power goes out. This should give me enough juice for the apex to send an email.
OK.....is this a good plan?
Next, I assume I have to plug my modem and router into the UPS as well. Do I need to have my computer on a UPS? Does my computer play any role in this? Or is my apex doing the emailing? I am confused about this part.
Thanks
