Title: Nut and APC Back-UPS ES725
Post by: ElFroggio on November 07, 2006, 05:01:13 PM

I am trying to configure nut, and it does not not work.

1. I have plugged in the USB port

Code: [Select]

db configuration setprop nut Device /dev/ttyUSB0
expand-template /etc/sysconfig/ups
expand-template /etc/ups/ups.conf
expand-template /etc/ups/upssched.conf
expand-template /etc/ups/upsmon.conf
expand-template /etc/ups/upsd.users
expand-template /etc/ups/upsd.conf
/etc/rc7.d/S15nut restart

and I get:

Broadcast message from nut (Tue Nov  7 07:57:32 2006):

Any suggestion?

Thanks

You can remove this line as its USB...

db configuration setprop nut Device /dev/ttyUSB0


Try this...

[root@test]# config setprop nut Model newhidups
[root@test]# expand-template /etc/ups/*
[root@test]# expand-template /etc/sysconfig/ups
[root@test]# /etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S**nut restart

Where ** is a number,

Ok what does...

config show nut

Show? Did you remove the "Device" property?

If so then do...

config setprop nut Model newhidups
config setprop nut status enabled

Then...

expand-template /etc/sysconfig/ups
expand-template /etc/ups/ups.conf
expand-template /etc/ups/upssched.conf
expand-template /etc/ups/upsmon.conf
expand-template /etc/ups/upsd.users
expand-template /etc/ups/upsd.conf

Then restart...

/etc/rc7.d/S15nut restart

If "newhidups" model doesn't work try "hidups"

Post by: ElFroggio on November 07, 2006, 09:06:11 PM

Code: [Select]


[root@coyote ~]# config show nut
nut=service
    Device=/dev/ttyUSB0
    Model=newhidups
    status=enabled


How to I remove the device?

Remove the device and tried both the newhidups and the hidups, still does not work. Is the APC Back-UPS ES725 supported by nuts?

Is the APC Back-UPS ES725 supported by nuts?

It would seem so...

http://www.networkupstools.org/compat/stable.html

I remember seeing on a few bug reports that USB UPS's are unreliable at this time, so what I'd suggest/do is take a look at the nut dev list and see what info they provide which may help you.
