Some APC UPS's have SNMP cards and you can monitor the unit over the network.
Get an APC UPS from the community compatibility list. Connect the USB to the back of the Ultra. You can then configure it to share the UPS. If your Synology supports connecting to a NAS using NUT (Network UPS Tools) over the network then you can configure it to receive shutdown alerts from the Ultra over your network (you will of course still have to connect the power cable for the Synology to the UPS). You will of course have to connect the power cable for your router/switch to the UPS as well.
