Do you have such communication with the current UPS and your iSeries?

Note also that for AS/400s and anything else that will accept simple "relay contact" signals (unless something's changed in recent years, that's ALL an AS/400 accepts), you don't even need a direct connection to the UPS: you just need to have a small relay, with its contacts wired between the pins of a UPS monitoring plug, and the coil powered from an old "wall wart" plugged into an unprotected power socket.

That, along with similar gizmos for "conditioning" the signals from a UPS (if bad self-tests start triggering unnecessary emergency shutdowns) has been the subject of a past thread on this List.
