> I'm trying to get a sweex ups working with nut on debian sarge. Good luck! Sweex is notorious for changing their products internally, without telling you. Have you noticed that their online documentation still mentions the SafeNet software? And that they even have the guts to mention that their UPS is 'fully compatible with Unix'. Upon asking, they boldly stated that you can power a Unix box from it, but you can't monitor it. Yeah, right!

But it doesn't. I have one unit that does. But that doesn't neccessarily mean that yours does too (unfortunately, see above). > I get: > > mybox:/etc/nut# /etc/init.d/nut start > Starting Network UPS Tools: (upsdrvctl failed). > mybox:/etc/nut# This could be a configuration problem. Can you post the contents of the /etc/ups/ups.conf file here and also the permissions on the serial port you configured in there? Checking out with the bundled (Windows) software on a Windows box may be worthwile too, to rule out problems in the serial cable and/or UPS. > So I guess I'm using the wrong driver. I'm not ready to jump to that conclusion yet. > I already tried the savenet driver too, but no succes. That one for sure won't work, since that one is only good for devices that were shipped with the SafeNet 1.0 for Windows software. Yours apparently wasn't. > I found on the net someone using the ippon driver with a 500VA sweex ups, > but this doesn't work for me. All help is very appreciated.
