Thank you guys for your responses.
- The Nut version I have installed (from the Ubuntu repositories) is
2.4.3-1ubuntu3.1.
- The OS is Ubuntu server 10.04 LTS x64 with the 2.6.35-std210-amd64 kernel.
- Driver output:

I'm looking on the NUT website and on Google, but I must be doing
something wrong with the USB driver. Here's the error output:
root@www:/etc/nut# /lib/nut/usbhid-ups -a rack1ups
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.34 (2.4.3)
USB communication driver 0.31
Can't claim USB device [051d:0003]: could not detach kernel driver from
interface 0: Operation not permitted
Here's my ups.conf:
[rack1ups]
driver = usbhid-ups
port = auto
# vendor = "APC.*"
vendorid=051d
# product=".*Smart-UPS.*"
productid=0003
desc = "Rack 1 UPS"
If this helps, this is the dmesg output when the USB is plugged in...

Zach,

We recently had to replace an old APC SmartUPS 3000 with a newer 3000VA (the
2U one). It has both serial and USB in the back (with an RJ-45 on the end
of the serial cable).
I can't get the apcsmart driver to connect. I figured it should work the
exact same as the old UPS, with /dev/ttyS0 as the port (I'm using the same
port on the server that the last one was plugged into). I even tried the
USB driver (usbhid-ups) using the port=auto, but it complained about
unsupported UPS.
Any ideas about connecting this new UPS?
apart from the good advice from George (Ross), we need the following
info to be able to help you (both need root privileges):
- the nut version used,
- the operating system, and version, you're running,
- drivers debug output:
$ /path/to/driver -DDDDD -a<devname>
- and for the USB side:
$ lsusb -v -d051d:<productID>
AFAICT, the serial protocol has changed (and is not published nor
reverse engineered), but USB should work (minus a possible missing
supported productID).
cheers,
Arnaud
