I got my UPS powering three devices: Synology NAS, my home server (Beelink EQ12, running Linux) and a PoE switch.

My UPS is “Eaton 5E 650i USB”. I have the USB from the UPS plugged into the NAS. There’s only one port; and I want both the NAS and the home server make use of communications from the UPS. The NAS currently works as I want it to but it was spoonfed to me by Synology and I’m already using a cable; but what about the home server itself—make use of alerts/monitoring, safely shutdown-back up via WOL and such? How do I do it via the network?

Am I supposed to use the RJ45 port on the Eaton UPS? The manual does not explain what to do.
