Hi Arnaud,

serialmon (http://www.serialmon.com/) seems to be a good candidate.
but I'm not sure if it allows to dump the snif.
so if you're not in hurry, you may prefer the below solution...

Well, I've tried Serialmon. It would enable dumping - but it doesn't work at all.

System requirements are Windows 2000 and newer and Dot Net 2.0. Therefore I did not even try it on Vista or 7, but on my trusty Windows XP with latest Service Pack. And of course with Dot Net 2, 3 and 4. 2 has SP level 1.

On the first installation run Windows complained that Serialmon does not pass the logo test. I continued with the installation and rebooted. Serialmon then told me that it could not perform software monitoring, because I would either need to reboot or re-install. I rebooted, to no avail. I re-installed (twice), it just doesn't to anything.

I even blocked Checkups II from starting by removing its registry entry, so COM1: would not be blocked, and re-installed. Doesn't make a difference.

Then I tried to talk to the UPS by hand, with Hyperterminal. The UPS doesn't talk to me, even when I send the password that has been described in your link to the protocol (bearing in mind it may not be the right protocol for a 660 LI).

Btw, in the protocol link it is mentioned that the UPS does do flow control, via XON/XOFF. Maybe this contributes to the disrupted communication of the bestfortress driver?

Thanks
Oliver



I'm trying to find, inside of Eaton, more information since I'm
currently lacking too much knowledge on this protocol.


Well, since Eaton bought Best Power a long time ago, there should be some
documentation, or even the developers?

hence my remark ;-)
I've already a contact name, and I'm waiting for an answer.
so there is indeed good chances there.

cheers,
Arnaud
