Hi everybody,
In a christmas sequel I've been offered one of the units mentioned above.
I've tried to connect it to my Fedora 8 workstation but rapidly
concluded it's not yet supported by NUT.
So far, I've decompiled the Java classes of the manufacturer's
application and noticed that it's most probably yet another kind of
serial protocol through the USB.
Since previous models of the same manufacturer were supported with the
megatec driver through a serial line I supposed the megatec_usb driver
would do the trick, so far it does not.
Anyway, the thing is that I also own a machine with Windows and will
probably engage the sniffing process.
Since it's my first attempt on the dark side of the USB some advices
will be welcome:
- I plan to use http://sourceforge.net/projects/usbsnoop/ is this a tool
you would recommend? if not what else?
- another information that would probably help me is an example of data
already collected with comments, is there anybody in the list who would
share such information?
Many thanks in advance,
Andre
PS: Here is the result of the command: megatec_usb -DDDDDD -x
