Can anyone help getting a Tripplite SU2200XL to work with nut 2.0.3 using the supplied serial cable? Starting the ups service yields: Starting tripplitesu: Network UPS Tools - Tripp Lite SmartOnline driver 0.02 (2.0.3) Unable to detect Tripp Lite SmartOnline UPS on port /dev/ttyS0 I also have Tripplite's PowerAlert 12 software installed and when run it finds the UPS without a problem. So the cable is connected properly. The details: CentOS 4.3 i386 (RedHat Enterprise 4.3) nut 2.0.3 compiled from an FC4 source RPM. I previously had nut running with a smaller APC unit. I'd love to get it working with this unit instead of having to use Tripplite's software. Is this a lost cause? I see some other complaints here regarding Tripplite. Is this driver being maintained anymore? Thanks, Kirk Bocek

(The serial and non-PDC USB protocols are similar to each other, but not to the SU* series commands.) There is a chance that this UPS is returning something slightly different than the expected manufacturer string, so you could add a few debug statements to see what the UPS returns.
