Hi Kipp, some followup on the last mail.
I have checked up the manual of the ups.
on http://www.powerware.com/Products/end_of_life_Manuals.asp
Powerware 9 Prestige Series User's Guide 600 VA-1800 VA.
To run it on LanSafe it should be set in printer mode, and
the driver works like LanSafe. So check your communication
settings on the ups.
Hi,
Thanks for this suggestion. Unfortunately, I followed the instructions in
the manual to put the UPS into "Printer Mode, 2400 Baud", and nothing
changed. I still 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)
Am I supposed to use the same driver (bcmxcp), or am I supposed to try a
different one?
Hi again,
Another piece of information is that prior to running upsdrvctl, I am able
to communicate with the UPS using minicom. If I start minicom (2400N81),
and press CTRL-C a few times, the UPS displays a configuration menu with a
variety of options (as the manual says it should). After running
"upsdrvctl -v start", and the NUT driver fails, if I then run minicom
again the UPS is non-responsive. It is necessary to do a manual shutdown,
disconnect from wall power, reconnect, and restart in order to restore
communications with the UPS.
