Hello, I got this information from the manufacturer of my ups Kobian/Mercury and were tested wtih powstatd on Linux (Works OK). Now i want to configure it with NUT and i didn't have any luck (it always says OB) Initiliasation for monitoring: RTS = 1 (High) Main power fail: CTS = 0 (Low) Batter low: DCD = 0 (Low) Kill UPS: DTR = 0 (Low) How would the ups.conf look like? Reagards, Lep pozdrav, Markelj Toma?

This is another good example of the power of collaborative work ;-) I have a Kobian/Mercury 800VA ups which connects via Dumb serial cable to> the Server.

please, keep the list cc'ed and post as much info as possible when requesting for help. 2005/12/1, Tomaz Markelj <tomaz.markelj@gmail.com>:> > I tried all but i still get status OB, can you help me out with the > ups.conf? >what did you put in ups.conf? According to your info, something like that should work: CP=RTS OL=CTS LB=-DCD SD=-DTR Note that I don't use nor maintain myself this driver, so somebody else might give you better advices...

once more, please _KEEP_ the list cc'ed! 2005/12/1, Tomaz Markelj <tomaz.markelj@gmail.com>:> > I used the same settings as you replyed... > > > > # upsc kobian@localhost > > driver.name: genericups > > driver.parameter.CP: RTS > > driver.parameter.LB: -DCD > > driver.parameter.OL: CTS > > driver.parameter.port: /dev/tty00 > > driver.parameter.SD: -DTR > > driver.parameter.upstype: 4 >send back your ups.conf. it seems you've used upstype=4 which differs a bit on the SD flag (not important for the present problem). Try to define "OL=-CTS" and make some test like that to validate the mfr info. from there, you're on your own as can't give more info... Keeping the list cc'ed means that others can step up.
