I am trying to setup apcupsd for a backUPS 300Va. I received the serial
cable directly from APC for the simple UPS. It seems to start okay, but
about 5 seconds after it starts, I can see that there is an error stating
"Serial communications with UPS lost" in /var/log/messages. Does anyone
know what might cause this? I am using the rpm from the 7.2 distribution
(3.7.0)
The output I get from apcaccess status is:
DATE : Wed Dec 31 19:00:00 EST 1969
HOSTNAME : igor.aerobuilders.com
RELEASE : 3.7.0
CABLE : APC Cable 940-0020B
MODEL : BackUPS
UPSMODE : Stand Alone
LINEFAIL : OK
BATTSTAT : OK
END APC : Mon Jan 08 14:15:03 EST 2001
Also, I get an rwall message saying that the serial connection was lost.
Any help would be much appreciated
Andy
