Hello List, I would like to control the big Delta box that protect the cluster of my group: I am not familiar with those kind of machine, but quite familiar with (Debian) Linux. Does anyone know which NUT driver to use ? The UPS have 3 different communication interfaces: RS-232 AS-400 Dry-contact Which one is the more appropriate for NUT ? Any other information is welcome :-) Thanks in advance, Jerome -- Jerome BENOIT jgmbenoit_at_mailsnare_dot_net

If you have a technical manual for the UPS, see if they describe the protocol, or mention what software is compatible. Phoenixtec and Megatec are two protocol names that you might run across. If not, there is a driver called 'genericups' that can handle on-line/on-battery and battery-good/battery-low status. -- - Charles Lepple

If no go on belkin or megatec you can try to setup the dry-contact with the generic driver.> Any other information is welcome :-)If you install NUT, try the driver in debug mode first. Setup the ups.conf (se manual) then run the driver in debug. /path/to/belkin -DD -u root -a ups The -u root is to handle any problems with access to the comport. If you know this is OK you can take out the -u root in the command. The -a ups is pointing to what you set for tag name in ups.conf. Regards Kjell
