UPS and Power Chute and SNMP?
For tax reasons I need to purchase a UPS imminently - apart from the fact it is a very good idea to have one! I use Linux (Ubuntu 16.04), Pro2, Ultra2 (both OS6) and 31400 NAS I know nothing ...

sounds like your UPS might have gotten fried.
Since you have 2 UPS, you could swap them and see if the other nas will recognize it.
If they both work on different nas, then perhaps something wonky with the config, but if the bad one still doesn't work, then I guess you need to replace it.

Most Home/SoHo UPS are monitored with USB - so you'd directly connect the USB cable to one of the NAS ports.
This monitoring uses a package called NUT (Network UPS Tools) - it isn't using SNMP. The NAS has NUT built in.
There's a list of UPS models that support NUT here: http://networkupstools.org/stable-hcl.html
APC models are popular. I use CyperPower myself. I've also seen some posters who use Eaton.
