Gidday all - I'm a new user to nut. I've got some cheap powerpal UPSs working fairly well. However I also have a new Dynamix UPS-1700D and an old Powercom KIN-1700 something unit that I cannot make work right. The best method I've found is "trial and error" which sounds a bit last-resort. Is there any better way to find out what protocol is used? -- Criggie

Hi there, A couple years ago, I had patched the "fentonups" nut driver to allow it to work with my Unitek Alpha 500 UPS. My patch had been accepted and incorporated in the standard fentonups driver. I have had no time to stay involved in the "nut" project since (and besides this I'm not a developper...). 2 days ago I upgraded from Ubuntu Gutsy to Ubuntu Hardy and got

Hi! I don't know how I missed it before, but "bestups" seems to implement mostly the same protocol as megatec. Is anybody out there using this driver willing to try "megatec" to see if it works? AFAIK, the only difference seems to be the command that gets the UPS identification data ("I" on "megatec", "ID" on "bestups"), but

Hi Stefanos, you should mail to the NUT list, and try the megatec driver, which is only available from subversion for the moment (but should be included in the next stable release). Carlos might give you some help with this driver.

Hi again, I tested several times using the Megatec driver from nut 2.2.2 to no avail, as it definitely never "sees" the UPS. Always getting : # drivers/megatec -DDD -a Alpha Network UPS Tools 2.2.2 - Megatec protocol driver 1.5.14 [megatec] Carlos Rodrigues (c) 2003-2008 debug level is '3' Starting UPS detection process... Asking for UPS status [Q1]... Q1 => FAILED

Greetings! Thanks to all the developers who have made this project so far. Searching for a Linux based Belkin UPS monitor led me straight to the Network UPS Tools. I have bought a Belkin F6C900-UNV (900VA) for use on a Slackware 10.2 server to replace an older APC model that died suddenly. So far I have successfully managed to get NUT 2.0.5 compiled and configured and found that this Belkin

Hello list, I'm fresh in using an ups for shutting down a linux server and i was thinking someone could give a hand at debugging a problem i stumbled to. I'm used to the redhat type of distribution, mainly centos 4/5, and off-course i installed nut and nut-client from the available rpm packages. After some reading i disconnected the server from the power supplied by the ups and

Carlos, Today I was browsing through the NUT Tracker and noticed an entry which linked to a message on nut-upsdev: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/nut-upsdev/2006-January/000559.html Although the fentonups driver is no longer in the tree (since it was replaced by the megatec driver), I think there is still some merit in this patch. Notice the following lines from this message: >

Is this really needed/desirable? I think this kind of information needs to be put in the AUTHORS document. There are many more people on this list that put a lot of effort in NUT, without claiming credit

Hi all, Currently, the "megatec" driver only supports UPSes which have a serial (RS232) interface. However, I'm under the impression that most of the models that speak the megatec protocol, and have an USB interface, just have a standard serial-to-USB converter inside. This being the case, there should be a "/dev/ttyUSBx" device which the megatec driver could use just as

Hello nut-upsuser, Hope, that its might be useful for someone: 1. Kebo UPS-600A Driver: genericups UPStype: 7 Config extras: SD = -RTS or SD = -TX (don't know why but both are suitable) 2. Kebo UPS-1200M Driver: fentonups Config extras: none Note: Looks like twin brother of Microlab UPS-1200M :) Driver ask me to report ID string: "Unknown

Hello Nut List! I have 2 "Lacerda 10KVA" UPS that returns strange values for Q1 and F commands: Q1 (215.0 215.0 219.0 004 60.0 2.27 39.0 00000001 F #220.0 045 240.0 60.0 At least what I know about Megatec, It seems to say that it has a 240.0 V battery with currently 2.27V. Quite strange. I contacted Lacerda to help me interpret this values and they said that 2.27 is just 1 element

Hi Andy, I've forwarded your info to the development list, and Carlos Rodrigues (the megatec driver author and maintainer. As a side note, there is a megatec_usb driver underway. You might want to give it a try. @Carlos: I let you update the drivers.list.
