I'm read through the archives trying to figure out how to get a Tripplite SmartPro SLT 1500 configured with NUT using the USB interface (it also has a serial interface but I'd rather not). The thread which this link belonged to seemed most instructive:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/nut-upsdev/2007-January/001656.html and I followed it as best I could. I'm running a 2.6.25.11 x86-64 kernel and first tried the version 2.2.2-2 Debian package of Nut. This resulted in confusion and - I think - failure. My guess is it didn't recognize this particular Tripplite UPS but I couldn't really tell. Following the path of the thread originator, I checked out the latest version of Nut from the SVN repository and built that, then followed the INSTALL instructions. Here is the ups.conf I used: [tripplite] driver = usbhid-ups port = auto vendorid = 09ae desc "Golum" The driver started up like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:# /usr/local/ups/bin/upsdrvctl start Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.3.0-1515 Network UPS Tools: 0.29 USB communication driver - core 0.33 (2.3.0-1515) Using subdriver: TrippLite HID 0.2 (experimental) which looked like a partial success (I hope - at least it didn't complain and die), but it didn't " show a few details about the hardware" to give me any comfort, either. But I pressed on. My upsd.conf was: LISTEN 127.0.0.1 3493 LISTEN ::1 3493 and my initial upsd.users was empty. I started up /usr/local/ups/sbin/upsd and after killing it and correcting the group on ups.conf to 'nut' like INSTALL told me to (idiot) and restarting it, I got [EMAIL PROTECTED]:# /usr/local/ups/sbin/upsd Network UPS Tools upsd 2.3.0-1515 listening on ::1 port 3493 listening on 127.0.0.1 port 3493 Connected to UPS [tripplite]: usbhid-ups-tripplite Step 11. My first test: status data: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:# /usr/local/ups/bin/upsc [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.status OL I'm starting to think this is looking good. Now for some details: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:# /usr/local/ups/bin/upsc [EMAIL PROTECTED] battery.charge: 100 battery.charge.low: 10 battery.charge.warning: 30 battery.temperature: 24.9 battery.type: PbAC battery.voltage: 40.7 battery.voltage.nominal: 36.0 driver.name: usbhid-ups driver.parameter.pollfreq: 30 driver.parameter.pollinterval: 2 driver.parameter.port: auto driver.parameter.vendorid: 09ae driver.version: 2.3.0-1515 driver.version.data: TrippLite HID 0.2 (experimental) driver.version.internal: 0.33 input.frequency: 59.9 input.transfer.high: 145.0 input.transfer.low: 95.0 input.voltage: 120.3 input.voltage.nominal: 120 output.frequency: 59.9 output.frequency.nominal: 60 output.voltage: 120.3 output.voltage.nominal: 120 ups.beeper.status: enabled ups.delay.shutdown: 20 ups.delay.start: 30 ups.load: 12 ups.mfr: Tripp Lite ups.model: TRIPP LITE SMART1500SLT ups.power.nominal: 1500 ups.productid: 3012 ups.serial: 9605ALCSM538800161 ups.status: OL ups.timer.reboot: -1 ups.timer.shutdown: -1 ups.timer.start: -1 ups.vendorid: 09ae ups.watchdog.status: 0 Hallelujah! At least, I think I can say that. All the ones that I can make sense of, look good to me. Does the rest of it make sense? If so, I believe you can add this device to your supported devices list. If not, I'll be glad to help figure out what it takes to make it so. --Jeff _______________________________________________ Nut-upsdev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsdev
