Hi list, on my previous (lenny or squeeze) machine, I had it up and running, but that machine and configs are gone - and on my new jessie machine (see device and config details below) I cannot start the driver:
# /lib/nut/bestups -DDDDD -a Patriot_Pro_II_750 0.000000 debug level is '5' 0.000806 send_to_all: SETINFO device.type "ups" 0.000842 send_to_all: SETINFO driver.version "2.7.2" 0.000862 send_to_all: SETINFO driver.version.internal "1.06" 0.000884 send_to_all: SETINFO driver.name "bestups" 17.264987 Unable to detect a Best/SOLA or Phoenix protocol UPS I see no other relevant log entries. I've noticed this tread: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/nut-upsdev/2014-November/006801.html But unless I misunderstood something, the driver bestups should still work in jessie, right? Might this be a clable issue? The cable is the original cable that used to work with Best software (on Windows XP) and NUT (unsure which version, default repos). I checked it's wiring, it's as described in http://www.networkupstools.org/cables.html#_phoenixtec_best_power except that PC Pins 1,8 and 9 are connected to ground/shield. Or a serial setup failure? stty tells me that the driver sets speed to 2400baud, but does that mean that the driver can establish a connection to the device? How to tell? If I interpreted other posts correctly, I should be able to use a terminal program to access the UPS device. So I started minicom -D /dev/ttyS0 (without and with " -b 2400" or " -b 9600") and tried to enter "Q1 \r" but I don't even get a local echo. So what does that mean and what else can I try? Thank you for your ideas and hints! Olav P.S.: Once it works, should I contribute my values to https://github.com/networkupstools/nut-ddl/tree/master/Best_Power ? How? __________________________________ My new machine is ASUS H7-Plus; it has an internal serial connector (with tappet(?) so that I can only plug the internal cable in one way) but I bought a 3rd pary shield.
