Well, I have made the cable.
I had a fresh install of debian and I had used synaptic to install the
latest version of NUT and created a ups.conf per earlier instructions.
Now I seem to be missing something, I noticed the docs say upscode2 is
now built in and I notice that this is no separate driver file called
upscode2 as there is for apcsmart (and the orhters), yet I try:
upsdrvctl start
gives
Can't start: /lib/nut/upscode2: No such file or directory
and in /lib/nut I can see plenty of drivers (apcsmart, etc).
I re-read the documentation but I seem to have missed something, any
ideas?? (probably as it was getting late at night!!)
Also, reading the documentation on getting the three banks of three
outlets on the UPS (powersaving?) to shutdown separately at different
times , I am not clear on how to achieve this, any pointers would be
appreciated.
Cheers Douglas.

Hi,
Hi Douglas,
I have a Comapq T2400H model 242688-003 and do not have the special
cable to connect it to my serial port.
I have tried all sorts of cable wirings that I found on the net,
including ones for the powerware 5119 which appears to be the same
model.
OK, I think you have seen this :-)

And this should be the cable. And it is for smart mode, so you
can not use it with the generic driver.
I have read the documentation that comes with NUT, tried to read the
source code and looked at the genericups code too. I have hit a bit
of a wall, does anyone have the pinout for a working cable for this
unit that works in the dumb or smart mode, and the ups.conf they
used??
This type of ups is talking upscodeII, so you need to test the upscode2
driver. If it acts like a T1500h you may need to add 'use_pre lf' into
the 'ups.conf'.
ups.conf should look something like this.
[compaq]
driver = upscode2
port = /dev/ttyS0
desc = "Compaq T2400h"
manufacturer = "Compaq"
input_timeout = 5
use_pre_lf = yes
Regards
Kjell
P.S. Send you a pdf of list.
