I have an APC SMX3000RMLV2UNC UPS, with installed network card model AP9631.

I don't see the 9631, so it might not work.
I planned to use network connectivity with this unit and apcupsd, but have not
this far. The UPS is shared by multiple servers, so a USB or Serial connection
via the AP9620 is not feasible:

You don't have to use a SNMP card to shutdown multiple systems. NUT can
handle this quite well.
I'd expect NUT to work with the AP9620 legacy communications card using
either the apcsmart (serial) or usbhid-ups (USB) drivers. I don't recall
anyway saying for sure though.
I see a prior thread discussing the unfortunate proprietary microlink protocol:

My question is whether microlink is what is actually used for a TCP/IP
connection to the AP9631 network card, or whether another protocol such as SNMP
is available for NUT to use. Even a lower count of UPS metrics via SNMP would be
usable, I just need to reliably signal on power loss events.
I'm pretty sure Microlink is just for serial and USB on any current
Smart-UPS model.
