Nut upsdev - Feb 2014 - Question on support for Upsonic Commercial UPS CXR 2000 - 2000VA/1200W - Rack/Tower on Freebsd 9.1.

I am working with a number of our customers to ensure that NUT
works with different UPS's on Freebsd 9.1.

The current one I am looking is support for:

*Upsonic Commercial UPS CXR 2000 - 2000VA/1200W - Rack/Tower*

What seems to be supported in Freebsd is:

CXR1000
	blazer_ser
LAN Saver 600
	genericups upstype=0
Power Guardian
	genericups upstype=7
PrOffice 650
USB 	blazer_usb
DS-800
USB 	blazer_usb



we tried these but not much luck according to my customer.
Has anyone got this one to work on Freebsd and
what is needed for the config?

If I need to somehow get into the UPS via serial port or ????
to get some information that someone needs in order to
config it correctly, let me know how/what.

Thx in advance,
Chris Duffy

Small clarification: the hardware compatibility list isn't broken down by
operating system (theoretically, the drivers should work on any POSIX system,
with additional dependencies for USB).

In general, permissions on device nodes aren't set up automatically in
FreeBSD. In particular, the USB nodes aren't writable by the default system
username for NUT (uucp), so you probably will need to make a change to
devd.conf.

What does 'usbconfig list' return when run as root?

Or, if the UPS connects over a serial port, what options are being used, and
what is the resulting message when starting the driver (e.g. with 'upsdrvctl
start')?

Thx for the info Charles.

Here is what I am seeing from
'usbconfig list'

ugen0.1: <EHCI root HUB Intel> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH 
(480Mbps) pwr=SAVE
ugen1.1: <EHCI root HUB Intel> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH 
(480Mbps) pwr=SAVE
ugen0.2: <product 0x0024 vendor 0x8087> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST 
spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=SAVE
ugen1.2: <product 0x0024 vendor 0x8087> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST 
spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=SAVE
ugen0.3: <Hermon USB hidmouse Device Winbond Electronics Corp> at 
usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON
ugen1.3: <USB UPS PPC> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=LOW (1.5Mbps) pwr=ON


The last line I guess is key.

I did try all the diff combinations from the chart below
to no avail.....

and they are using a USB cable/port.....

Thx for any leads.

Chris
