I have trouble in getting communication work with MGE Ellipse 500. I bought it second hand and I don't have the cable for it.
How do I know if it's the Serial or USB model? The serial number of the unit is: 769B16015. I suspect it is the serial version as the label next to the RJ11 stands "com port", but I can't be 100% sure. MGE Ellipse serial cable pinout can be found here: http://eu1.networkupstools.org/cables/mgeups.html I tried making the cable, but the pin numbering on the modular jack (RJ12) wasn't clear on the page so I tried it both ways. Neither seems to work for me. Which way is the right way? I may need some help resolving this. Trying minicom on /dev/ttyS0 with 2400 bps 8n1 I can see that anything I type, gets echoed back character by character (in both pin configurations I tried). I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing. Nevertheless I can't get it to react in any other way. This is what I get in both configurations: # /lib/nut/mge-shut -a mge-shut -D -D -D -D Network UPS Tools - MGE UPS SYSTEMS/SHUT driver 0.66 (2.2.2) debug level is '4' entering upsdrv_initups() entering setline(1) entering shut_ups_start() sent: (1 bytes) => 16 Syncing and notification setting done Communication with UPS established entering shut_get_descriptor(n 21, 9) entering shut_packet_send (8) shut_checksum = af sent: (11 bytes) => 81 88 81 06 00 21 00 00 09 00 af shut_wait_ack(): Nothing received Retry = 1 sent: (1 bytes) => 15 shut_wait_ack(): Nothing received Retry = 2 sent: (1 bytes) => 15 shut_wait_ack(): Nothing received Retry = 3 sent: (1 bytes) => 15 shut_wait_ack(): NACK received shut_wait_ack(): NACK received shut_wait_ack(): NACK received shut_wait_ack(): Nothing received Max tries reached while waiting for ACK, still getting errors Unable to get HID Descriptor # Yours, Harri _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
