Hi,

I've got a Powerware Prestige 9 1kVA UPS that seems to not be working with nut. It's not in the current "supported hardware" list, but the old bcmxcp page lists it as being a UPS that speaks that protocol.

I have the following in my ups.conf

[powerware]
driver = bcmxcp
port = /dev/ttyS0
desc = "Powerware Prestige 9 EXT"
baud_rate = 2400

And when I start the driver I get

root% upsdrvctl -v start
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.0.4
exec: /lib/nut/bcmxcp -a powerware
Network UPS Tools - BCMXCP UPS driver 0.10 (2.0.4)

Connected to UPS on /dev/ttyS0 baudrate: 2400
Model = Powerware Prestige 1000VA
Firmware = 01.06
Shutdown delay =  120 seconds
Communications with UPS lost: Receive error (Request command): 9!!!

Communications with UPS lost: Receive error (Request command): 9!!!

Communications with UPS lost: Receive error (Request command): 9!!!

Communications with UPS lost: Error executing command
Could not communicate with the ups: Success
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)


So it's definitely talking to the UPS: it gets the model number and firmware revision, neither of which are things I've told it. But then there are errors and the driver finally gives up.

Can anyone give me a hand getting this working?

                                                        -Kipp
