APC SmartUPSs and Automatic Startup

I have 2 120s and a 220 that are all Appliances loaded with 8.103 that are plugged in to APC SmartUPS 2200s at their sites. I have read and understand that if I attach them to the UPSs via USB that they will shutdown once the UPS sends a low battery signal but what I want to know is if they will start back up once the power is restored. It seems in my experience that if the power just goes out or if they get unplugged (Oops) that they turn back on but if you issue a shutdown command unplug it and plug it back it you have to turn them on. I could be wrong that is why I want to verify. Thanks!

Probably utilizing the laststate power setting in the bios, which will activate when power is restored or a custom control signal sent by the UPS, similar to a WoL "magic packet". There's pretty good documentation on how UPSs work in the manual for an open source UPS control software package at http://www.apcupsd.org/.

An that is exactly what i'm talking about. Does the ups cycle the asg power, if main power is restored, even if the battery is not complety discharged. Or have any config changes at the ups been necessary?
