UPS Server - Configure Windows Client?

I am powering my AS5304T from a UPS and have attached the UPS USB cable to the NAS. The NAS has correctly detected it as a UPS and everything looks good. However, I can't figure out how to configure a Windows PC attached to the same UPS as a client to the NAS. It appears my only option is to use WinNUT on the PC but it requires that I configure it to monitor <UPS_Name>@<Server_Name> and I have no idea what <UPS_Name> should be. There is no Asustor information that I can find that helps even though this feature has been available for 5+ years.

Also, the Asustor user guide says "When the NAS is configured as the network UPS server (Master mode), the default username is “admin” and the password is “11111” when connecting to the network UPS server.". This also begs the question: where can I configure the username and password for the UPS server?

Sometimes it helps to try and explain a problem in order to find a solution yourself. :) I found this link...

MONITOR asustor@[your nas ip] 1 admin 1111 slave

This appears to work and really needs to go into the user docs. Note the UPS name and the password.
