the one in question (on the C5 box in my office) has no such labeling
on its battery-backed-up outlets, so if it has a master outlet, it's
undocumented.

I recall, from reading docs in either nut, or the apc package for
linux (don't recall which) that many USB UPSes do have signalling
between the UPS and the computer to tell the UPS to shut itself off
when the system has gone offline. So, I've been assuming that's what
is happening in my case.
