But when it request the config_block it seems not to be implemented. The answer you get is telling me that it is a command_Acknowledge block returned. The received Requst command for config_block should be 6 and you got 9. This maybe telling the driver that it is not implemented. > > 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.

Can you check if there is any firmware update for your ups, as the config_block request was implemented on Revision U of the protocol. And the prestige ups is listed in the answer. Have to rush to work. Regards Kjell _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
