Hello again, I have a Sola 305 (aka Powerware 3110) here connected via a serial INT-0051 cable which I am trying to get working with nut. The driver.list file indicates that nut supports the Sola 305 when connected via the INT-0025C cable using the genericups driver with upstype set to 7 but it does not mention the INT-0051.
I was able to use the "Basic CheckUPS II" utility provided by Best Power to verify that the UPS is connected to the serial and is communicating properly (after making a very small modification to the source (inserting a usleep)). After verifying that the connection was okay, I hunted around on the net and found the following document: http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/smeserver/contribs/rmitchell/smeserver/howto/powstatd HOWTO for sme server.htm It indicates that the settings to use when connected via a INT-0025C are: init0 dsr init0 rng init0 dtr init1 rts fail cts,0 low dcd,0 kill dtr,1 This seems to agree with the definition of type 7 in genericups.h: /* Type 7 */ { "CyberPower", "Power99", "CyberPower Power99", TIOCM_RTS, /* cable power: RTS */ TIOCM_CTS, TIOCM_CTS, /* online: CTS on */ TIOCM_CD, 0, /* low battery: CD off */ TIOCM_DTR /* shutdown: set DTR */ }, The powstatd document then defines the settings to use when connecting using a INT-0051 as: init0 rts init0 rng init0 dsr init1 dtr fail cts,0 low dcd,0 kill rts,1 My guesstimate is that this would correspond to an entry in the upstab something like: { "Sola", "305", "with INT-0051 cable", TIOCM_DTR, /* cable power: DTR */ TIOCM_CTS, TIOCM_CTS, /* online: CTS on */ TIOCM_CD, 0, /* low battery: CD off */ TIOCM_RTS /* shutdown: set RTS */ }, This matches the definition of type 6 ("Best Patriot (INT51 cable)") and type 19 ("Fideltronik Ares Series"). I have set upstype to 6 and nut appears to be happy, although this UPS is attached to a system that I can't afford to shut down to perform a full test. The fact that the Best Patriot configuration is specified as INT51 (as opposed to INT0051) seems congruent to me. Is anyone else using a similar configuration? If this setup is known to work, would it be possible to add a new entry to drivers.list for Sola 305s connected via INT-0051?
