Update firmware does not seem to be an option, based on reading. I did a restore-factory-settings through the front panel: https://community.spiceworks.com/t/eaton-5px-2200rt-replacement-battery-alarm-firmware-update/766015/4 I repeated the "drain the capacitors" procedure at the top of my first email. Interesting: the network setting persisted - I could get the UPS via the web UI - it still used the same IP address. However, connecting to the serial console, I get: Local database initialisation - state_bind_error - * END state_bind_error * Local database initialisation - state_bind_error - * END state_bind_error * Local database initialisation ... repeat >From the host connected to the UPS via the USB cable: $ upsc ups02 Error: Driver not connected I suppose they might all be related. It's dinner time. I can come back to this on Monday. -- Dan Langille [email protected] _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
