My UPS is an Exide NetUPS SE PRC1500i (1500 VA), also known as Powerware 5119, according to Karl Schmidt (http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/nut-upsuser/2005-July/000026.html) also Deltec PowerRite Pro II, and according to http://www.usedups.de/compaq_ups.html also Compaq R3000h. I am not sure if the information in http://www.bps.hu/powerware/model_en.html is to be interpreted as that it was previously also known as Fiskars PowerRite Max and before that Fiskars PowerServer 10. The current Powerware models (e.g. the sucessor 5125) are sold under the name Eaton Powerware.
The NUT UPS hardware compatibility list does list Compaq R3000h, Deltec PowerRite Pro II, Exide NetUPS SE, Fiskars PowerRite Max, Fiskars PowerServer 10, and Powerware 5119. They are all said to be compatible with the genericups driver, type 15, except for the two Fiskars models and the Compaq OEM version, that should all work with the upscode2 driver. I made a serial adapter (allowing me to use a standard serial cable) according to the specifications in http://www.usedups.de/uploads/pics/Lansafecable_1_.jpg (should work with 3115, 5105, 5119, 9110, 9150 and 9305), confirmed by http://geekbiker.net/cables/powerware.txt Powerware's user's guide (currently http://www.emea.powerware.com/EOL/Manuals/Powerware/5119/English/5119.pdf) says that the 5119 is UPS Code II compliant, so I decided to try the upscode2 driver. The user's guide also helped me confirm the cable specifications. Using minicom I get the same output as Karl Schmidt (http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/nut-upsuser/2005-July/000038.html). The upscode2 driver works just fine for me, except for the fact that my UPS has what Powerware calls two "load segments" that the driver does not seem to acknowledge. I have tried the bcmxcp driver (that according to the source seems to support these load segments) but it does not recognize my UPS, at least not with the cable I am using. Summary: * Powerware 5119, also known under other names, work fine with the upscode2 driver except for the "load segment" part. * The following cable should work with Powerware 3115, 5105, 5119, 9110, 9150 and 9305 (and clones): UPS PC 1 -------- 3 2 -------- 2 4 -------- 5 5 -------- 1 6 -------- 8 I suggest that the UPS hardware compatibility list is updated iin order to show that the 5119 (under all it's names) support the UPS Code II protocol, and that the cable specifications are included in the NUT package. It might also be a good idea to alter the list so that the aliases of a model point to the main model, making it easier to maintain the list and keep it current.
