The only software you need for an UPS is if you want to monitor
its real-time performance, do some time-scheduled things, or
fiddle with very advanced settings, IOW you don't need it.
Plug a 100W lamp into the outlets on the back, one at a time,
and see if the lamp works when you pull the UPS plug out of the
wall socket. See how many 100W lamps you can power off the thing
for how long if you want to know what its approximate capacity
is.
If you haven't used it for a while leave it plugged in overnight
first so the battery can recharge.
If you REALLY want to know the /quality/ of the AC signal -
although if it works, it probably works OK - buy or borrow a
voltmeter and measure it.
You can take it to any decent electrical repair shop if you
don't want to do any of the above and they'll tell you if it's
OK. Batteries can be gotten almost anywhere.
Hopefully this is all you needed to know.
