[tropicalview]

Dear all,

I just configured the nuts exactly like in
http://wiki.contribs.org/NutUPS

I have a APC Smart 1500

Code: [Select]

USB Devices - American Power Conversion Back-UPS Pro 500/1000/1500
- Cypress Semiconductor Corp. CY7C65640 USB-2.0 "TetraHub"
 

but in the console:

Dear all,

I just configured the nuts exactly like in
http://wiki.contribs.org/NutUPS

There are a couple of options (USB and serial) in that article.  If you followed every command in order then you didn't do it right.  The first part of the article sets it up as a USB UPS (default settings) and the second part changes it to a serial USB.

Does anybody know what i'm doing wrong?


Kind regards

You misunderstood the instructions.  The only thing you needed to do was "config setprop nut status enabled".  USB devices should work by just enabling nut.  That article needs to be clearer IMHO.

First you should remove your settings and revert back to the default settings as the defaults work with most APC USB UPS's.  I have that EXACT UPS and it works fine.

config setprop nut Model newhidups
config delprop nut Device
config delprop nut Model
config delprop nut Type
signal-event post-upgrade
signal-event reboot

NOTE: Those 3 commands in the middle are delprop (as in delete property).

I'm very sorry about that.

Now it works fine thank you

I'm very sorry about that.

Now it works fine thank you

No problem.  I updated the article to clarify the difference between default and optional settings.

[tropicalview]

cool, it works. 


I tried big names like the driver name, and serial number and ups1 ups01

but indeed ups only works.


THanks


ps. what is your favorite program to shutdown windows clients in case on batery?

No problem.  I updated the article to clarify the difference between default and optional settings.

Thanks for updating that, it is much clearer to me now. It would have saved me some time setting mine up:)

I've have a similar problem with a APC SMART-UPS 750.

I've tried to type

Code: [Select]

config setprop nut status enabled
But it seem to don't work:

Code: [Select]

upsc UPS@localhost
Error: Driver not connected

Nut configuration is:

Code: [Select]

config show nut
nut=service
    MasterPass=914786031792523
    Model=usbhid-ups
    SlavePass=262189897836908
    status=enabled

I've another Sme (version 7.0, not 7.2) with the same UPS and the configuration works fine, with the Model: newhidups

I've tried to change the Model with:

Code: [Select]

config setprop nut Model newhidupsbut when I reconfigure and reboot the server it isn't saved and the configuration was the previuos.

Can you help me?

Thank you!

Bye,
Daniele.

PS: sorry for my bad english...!
