I recently purchased a Cyber Power 700 AVR UPS. I installed it just fine and wanted to install NUT to monitor the unit.
I searched the mailing list and found a similar post. However, the distro used in that post was different and the unit was slightly different (900 AVR). My server is running Debian Lenny. The Cyber Power UPS is connect to one of the serial ports using the cable that came with the unit. This is the first time I have used serial ports on the server. There are two on the back. Despite trying them both, I have yet to succeed in my installation. The ups.conf file contains: [server] driver = cyberpower port = /dev/ttyS0 desc = "Server" When I run the following command, I get: server:# upsdrvctl start Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.2.2 Network UPS Tools - CyberPower driver 1.00 (2.2.2) Giving up on hardware detection after 3 tries Unable to get initial hardware info string Driver failed to start (exit status=1) I did add the user "nut" to the "dialout" group. Below are permissions on the serial devices: server:# ls -l /dev | grep ttyS crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 64 2010-02-22 22:52 ttyS0 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 65 2010-02-22 23:01 ttyS1 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 66 2010-02-22 21:47 ttyS2 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 67 2010-02-22 21:47 ttyS3 Any idea what is causing my error? Thanks, Tom
