Hi Victor, First of all it's NUT not NUTS :-) I'm using a NETWORK-MS network card in an Eaton 9130i. I'm not surprised the 5PX doesn't show up in the HCL under Ethernet as the behaviour of the network card governs the compatibility, rather than what the UPS itself provides. The NETWORK-MS card works fine with the NUT snmp-ups driver. Shutdown behaviour is good as long as you remember to make sure your switch is also on the UPS, but it sounds like you've got that covered (yes, oops, been there done that). I have mine configured like this in ups.conf: [pw9130] driver = snmp-ups port = [SNIP] community = public snmp_version = v1 pollfreq = 15 When I query NUT for UPS info it returns the following: ambient.humidity: 0.00 ambient.temperature: 0.0 battery.charge: 100.00 battery.charge.low: 20 battery.runtime: 6746.00 battery.runtime.low: 180.00 battery.voltage: 104.00 device.mfr: Eaton device.model: PW9130 3000VA-T device.serial: [SNIP] device.type: ups driver.name: snmp-ups driver.parameter.pollfreq: 15 driver.parameter.pollinterval: 2 driver.parameter.port: [SNIP] driver.parameter.snmp_version: v1 driver.version: 2.7.2 driver.version.data: mge MIB 0.5 driver.version.internal: 0.72 input.phases: 1.00 input.transfer.reason: outlet.desc: Main Outlet outlet.id: 0 output.current: 3.00 output.frequency: 50.00 output.phases: 1.00 output.voltage: 230.00 ups.beeper.status: enabled ups.delay.shutdown: 20 ups.delay.start: 30 ups.firmware: 1.29 ups.firmware.aux: JB ups.load: 30.00 ups.mfr: Eaton ups.model: PW9130 3000VA-T ups.serial: [SNIP] ups.start.auto: no ups.status: OL ups.test.result: done and passed ups.timer.reboot: -1.00 ups.timer.shutdown: -1.00 ups.timer.start: -1.00 I get a lot more info straight over SNMP, which I'm monitoring with Nagios and logging/graphing with Cacti.
