Charles, list, Couple things I have recently learned. I don't have the original APC serial cable for this backups. Currently my cable is a generic straight through db9. If someone has the pinouts for a BK500 I'd appreciate a copy. I googled for them but never found the "correct" pinout config.
Also, here is the output of upsd /home/freebsd> /usr/local/sbin/upsd Network UPS Tools upsd 2.4.1 /usr/local/etc/nut/upsd.conf is world readable ACL in upsd.conf is no longer supported - switch to LISTEN ACL in upsd.conf is no longer supported - switch to LISTEN ACCEPT in upsd.conf is no longer supported - switch to LISTEN REJECT in upsd.conf is no longer supported - switch to LISTEN listening on 127.0.0.1 port 3493 listening on ::1 port 3493 Can't connect to UPS [apcBK500] (genericups-apcBK500): No such file or directory /usr/local/etc/nut/upsd.users is world readable Thanks for the help, I'm lost here with this backups.
