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

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

Unfortunately, it is not very unique: the vendor can pick the string "USB
UPS PPC", but the drivers match on the numeric IDs. Try 'usbconfig -d
ugen1.3 dump_device_desc'

"no avail" is not one of our error messages... I just checked :-)

What was the error message from blazer_usb?

see below.

Given the usbconfig output above, you will either need to run the driver as root
("-u root" on the command line) or change the permissions ("chown
uucp /dev/usb/1.3.*"). The /dev filesystem is volatile, so this will reset
itself on the next boot.

Charles,

Here is the output:

ugen1.3: <USB UPS PPC> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=LOW (1.5Mbps) pwr=ON

   bLength = 0x0012
   bDescriptorType = 0x0001
   bcdUSB = 0x0200
   bDeviceClass = 0x0000
   bDeviceSubClass = 0x0000
   bDeviceProtocol = 0x0000
   bMaxPacketSize0 = 0x0008
   idVendor = 0x06da
   idProduct = 0x0005
   bcdDevice = 0x0003
   iManufacturer = 0x0003  <PPC>
   iProduct = 0x0001  <USB UPS>
   iSerialNumber = 0x0000  <no string>
   bNumConfigurations = 0x0001

I am running all the ups programs as root, i.e. "ps -aux" shows:

root   39901   0.0  0.0  22388  3860 ??  Is   12:57AM     0:00.00 
/usr/local/bin/upslog -s UPSonic at localhost -l /var/log/ups.log -i 300 -u 
root
root   39976   0.0  0.0  22392  3804 ??  Is   12:57AM     0:00.00 
/usr/local/sbin/upsmon -u root localhost
root   39978   0.0  0.0  22392  3900 ??  S    12:57AM     0:00.01 
/usr/local/sbin/upsmon -u root localhost

The /var/log/ups.log does not have much in it either that
makes sense....maybe I need a utility to decode it?
