Networking help (well connecting a UPS to be more precise)

Network overlords I beseech thee...
Here is the situation: My friend's company has a Linksys NAS200 as their mail server. Recently the boss decided it might be a good idea to replace their UPS - he went on the cheap and got an APC Back-UPS 1000 Pro instead of a Smart-UPS but anyways that's besides the point.

My question is how do I configure the setup for my friend since you cannot connect peripherals to the NAS. I'm thinking that actually it would be better to connect a computer to the UPS and have the software send the shutdown command to the NAS as per the configuration-type on this page:
http://www.apcupsd.com/manual/#choosing-a-configuration-type

As in choosing type #2.
Will that work? What sorts of problems will I run into? Oh and I believe the computer used to control the server will be running Windows 7 - not sure on the exact configuration.

 

My knowledge of NAS/UPS is limited, but this may help: http://superuser.com/questions/447793/configure-windows-to-notify-nas-for-ups-shutdown

Is there not just a CAT5 network socket at the back. Should just be able to plug in a lead from yer puter to the NAS and then launch a browser pointed to - 192.168.1.1

Cheers joyrex that looks like it might help.

 

Pete- nothing except USB ports which are for connecting additional storage.

Apologies man - When I googled the NAS I got this -

 

 

Which had yer two aforementioned USB ports next to a CAT5 port

No worries, and I should double check anyways. So it's a good point to have brought up! :)
