Hi, I'm not having any success with debian packaged software for my new APC Smart-UPS 1000 (listed as Linux compatible). I tried (individually) apcd, genpower, upsd. I keep getting the error message "can't connect to ups" or "can't talk to UPS", even though I've correctly configured the software, including setting the device to /dev/ttyS1 and restarting. I have the black cable, which is supposed to be a "smart" model, although I don't know the exact number (# not on cable, bag, docs).
At first this seemed like a cable or hardware issue, so I carefully examined my system bios and everything was good there (2F8, irq3,..). Also, I have an ATX mobo, so there are no internal connectors. Then I read the README's and FAQ's and such a little closer, and I discovered that the date of the last software revisions are really old (1-3 years). I looked in slink to see if the software was any newer, but it was the same version. Then I searched the mailing list archives and experimented with ideas found there. How can I get my APC Smart-UPS 1000 to work with Debian? Would it be possible to use PowerChute for SCO Unix with ibcs? -- David ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
