Hi, recently I got a GE EP6000R UPS. At first I feared it's not supported at all, but after digging in I found out that it's supported by the 'blazer' driver. The UPS has both RS232 and USB connection. To use the RS232 connection, I had to use the 'cablepower = none' as the UPS is using only RX, TX and GND pins. So my 'usp.conf' was a bit like that:> [myups] > driver = blazer_ser > port = /dev/ttyS0 > cablepower = none > desc = "Local UPS"To use the USB connection required a bit more work, but I eventually found out what it takes:> [myups] > driver = blazer_usb > port = /dev/ttyS0 # probably irrelevant > vendorid = 14f0 > productid = 00c9 > subdriver = phoenix > desc = "Local UPS"I also made a patch so I don't need to define 'vendorid', 'productid' and 'subdriver' in config, but since I'm not a programmer, the patch is mostly 'guesswork'. The patch is against nut-2.6.0 release. I hope this list accepts attachments... Regards, Danilo -- Danilo Godec, sistemska podpora / system administration Predlog!

The 'phoenix' subdriver was an early attempt to work around some issue we found in a particular USB to serial converter, which later turned out to be better solved in the 'ippon' subdriver. Make sure you have also tested the latter.> I also made a patch so I don't need to define 'vendorid', 'productid' > and 'subdriver' in config, but since I'm not a programmer, the patch is > mostly 'guesswork'.
