I decided to try this to see if it worked better since Powerware decided to build in some oddball USB protocol instead of using a HID UPS profile, but it doesn't seem to work. The USB/serial dongle is recognized by Linux and added as /dev/ttyUSB0, owned by group "dialout", so I had to add the nut user to the dialout group. In the compatibility list, the proper driver for the Powerware is supposedly upscode2, but it doesn't seem to work: $ sudo upsdrvctl start Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.0.3 Network UPS Tools - UPScode II UPS driver 0.84 (2.0.3) Copyright (C) 2001-2002 HÃ¥vard Lygre, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Copyright (C) 2004 Niels Baggesen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Warning: This is an experimental driver. Some features may not function correctly. Bad response to UPTP "": Bad response to UPTP "": Bad response to UPSN 0: Missing UPCL after UPCL Communications with UPS lost: Empty string from UPS for UPDS! I thought the USB/serial dongle or serial port might be bad, so I dual booted into Windows and ran Powerware's Lanware 5.x software and it found the UPS properly on COM3. Any other suggestions? :-P ken __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
