Re: [Nut-upsuser] Cyberpower PR2200ELCDRT2U [HCL]

2017-11-13 Thread Christoph Lampl
Dear Charles,

thanks for all your information.

By using usbhid-driver we tested PR2200ELCDRT2U. FreeNAS was receiving "ONBATT" 
successfully and also initiated it's graceful shutdown!

So thanks for your information! :) I'm happy that it works!

Cheers,
Chris

Thanks, good to know. PR6000LCDRTXL5U would probably also work.

Those are likely from the previous instances of upsd and upsmon - they look 
like the "errors" you get from sending SIGTERM to them.

The UPS drivers send their "connected" message to stdout, and they are not 
consistent about that, either. Pretty sure we have that logged as a bug.

Do you know the lowest syslog level FreeNAS logs by default? (debug, info, 
notice, etc. - see 
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=syslog&sektion=3&apropos=0 for the

Again, the upsd and upsmon messages are secondary results from the driver not 
starting. Are there any log messages that reference usbhid-ups (the process 
name for your driver)?

If he's using the RMCARD205 (I think that's what I have) with the newer MIB2.0, 
that's the driver I mentioned on the dev list that I'm working on.

It supports a boatload of good stuff he 0.1 doesn't -- but it's not done yet. 
I've been battling client projects including one FPGA project with bugs both in 
the Xilinx FPGA IP and the Xilinx linux kernel driver that controls the FPGA 
IP. (yay)

I'm getting there though.

Value: 206  



[ups.delay.shutdown]

Description unavailable 

Type: STRING

Maximum length: 10  

Value: 20   



[ups.delay.start]   

Description unavailable 

Type: STRING

Maximum length: 10

However, I have to admit, I'm unsure, if all this output is sufficient and 
correctly? As far as I remember, when using my old CP1500, there was some sort 
of status message showing that the link between FreeNAS and the battery was 
established successfully, however, the only thing I receive now at this point 
is "upsmon parent: read". I'm a bit unsure, what this means?

Thanks so much for all your help!

Cheers,
Chris

Looking at the PR6000LCD... entry, it looks like PR*LCD models might be 
different than the older PR* ones.

What do you get from "sudo usbconfig dump_device_desc"? (You can trim any 
non-UPS data - I'm mostly interested in idVendor and idProduct. Also, if you 
don't want to share the full serial number, it would be good to know how many 
characters there are.)

I suspect this UPS will work with the usbhid-ups driver, or if not, it can be 
made to work with minor NUT configuration changes. I forget how you choose a 
"generic" USB connection in FreeNAS - maybe someone else can chime in on that 
point?

NUT upsd process probably will not start, either.

^ upsmon "Connection refused" errors (on FreeNAS, or other connections to 
localhost) are usually a consequence of upsd not starting, so this should 
resolve itself once you can get the driver running.

I doubt this will be an issue here, but I would recommend choosing the port you 
want to ultimately use (serial, USB, network) and making sure that it still 
works with Cyberpower's software before switching to NUT. Some older UPSes (and 
likely not even from Cyberpower) did not deal well with switching between 
ports, and required a power cycle to switch.

for reference, I think this version of FreeNAS includes NUT 2.7.4.

If this works with a different driver, would you please send a snapshot of the 
information you get from upsc, upscmd and upsrw as mentioned here?
