APC UPS Trip Lite - usb device keeps disconnecting
Gentlemen, I have recently purchased a small APC UPS unit for my office server. We have power outages from time to time that can last a couple of hours ( Mexico City ). I would like to setup apcupsd to automatically shutdown the server when there is a power outage. Upon connecting the UPS with a USB cable to the server I get this message : ugen1.2: Tripp Lite at usbus1 uhid1: Tripp Lite Tripp Lite UPS, class 0/0, rev 1.10/0.07, addr 2 on usbus1 And then about 20 seconds later : ugen1.2: Tripp Lite at usbus1 (disconnected) uhid1: at uhub1, port 2, addr 2 (disconnected) 20 seconds after that : ugen1.2: Tripp Lite at usbus1 uhid1: Tripp Lite Tripp Lite UPS, class 0/0, rev 1.10/0.07, addr 2 on usbus1 Another 20 seconds : ugen1.2: Tripp Lite at usbus1 (disconnected) uhid1: at uhub1, port 2, addr 2 (disconnected) So on and so forth forever. I'm using 8.2-STABLE. I cvsupd, builttheworld, installedtheworld and all that in hopes that would solve the problem. But unfortunately it did not. I was unable to find a similar situation in Google. Any help would be very appreciated.

I personally use Network UPS Tools for monitoring, but it was a bit more complicated to set up than when I used apcupsd back when I had an APC-branded UPS.

RE: APC UPS question
I have a backups 280 and there is no serial port on it. Are you sure your looking at the right thing? In any case a 280 is barely enough to keep a PC powered much less a PC and monitor. I use mine for my DSL modem and DSL router. There's lots of SmartUPS 450 UPSs on Ebay. Find one that the seller isn't claiming that he has 'refurbished' with new batteries. Buy it and when it arrives just buy new batteries from any electrical store and give them your old ones. (since it's going to be a given that the batteries will be toasted no matter what the seller claims) APS themselves also sells refurbs off their website.

re: APC UPS question
I have purchased a few APC Ups's from a vendor on Ebay. Wonderful to work with. a few weeks ago the UPS I purchased about 1 and a half years ago had a electrical problem and the ups failed. He sent me another unit and it arrived in just a few days. I Paid $179 for a APC Smart 1400 RM UPS. I currently have 3 servers attached to it with my various other routers and it will run for about 20 or 30 minutes. With only 1 server it will run for almost 90 minutes or so. He sends out NEW batteries with the unit's... http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQgotopageZ1QQsassZupspowerQQsosortorderZ1QQsosortpropertyZ1 already i see he has a few Net UPS 650's for $79 or a Smart UPS 700 for $100 On Wed, 20 Oct 2004 23:05:32 -0700, Matt Navarre [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm in the market for a UPS that works with FreeBSD.

RE: APC UPS question
they all use the same protocol, the difference is between the smart ups and the backups. all smartups use one protocol all backups use another. The very newest ones with usb and such might have changed this, I don't know. incidentally with the smartups you can query the ups for the amount of runtime left so you know how much life is left in the battery, the ups self-tests this periodically and you can send a command to it to do this. Very useful.

Re: APC UPS
Mark, I have an APC 750XL smart UPS powering my server and home automation setup. I have taken to using the PowerChute software provided by APC under linux emulation, which works quite well so long as you modify the shell scripts for use on a BSD system. I haven't tried running the apcupsd daemon, though, so YMMV. Good luck, Seth Henry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

RE: Need help with software to run my APC UPS
I have the same UPS and I will check tonight if I have the same cable (sounds right from memory). I have one question. Actually 2.. Did you buy the cable or build it?

I checked and one computer had serial 1 disabled. So, obviously this is a problem. I tried to change it to enabled but then I had some kind of conflict. I don't really know about this stuff.
