[Nut-upsuser] MGE Evolution mge-utalk Driver Not Connected error

Hi All,

I have an mge pulsar esv 14+ rackmount UPS connected via straight
through serial cable to a USB to serial adaptor (My motherboard does
not have a native RS232 port).

I am running Ubuntu Server 9.04 x64, and nut 2.4.1-2ubuntu4 installed via APT.

I am getting the error:

Poll UPS [ups1 at localhost] failed - Driver not connected

My conf files:

(ups.conf)
[ups1]
driver=mge-utalk
port=/dev/ttyUSB0


(upsd.conf)
ACL all 0.0.0.0/0
ACL localhost 127.0.0.1/32

ACCEPT localhost
REJECT all

(upsd.users)
[monuser]
        allowfrom = localhost
        password = pass
        upsmon master


(upsmon.conf)
MONITOR ups1 at localhost 1 monuser pass master

SHUTDOWNCMD "/sbin/shutdown -h +0"

Here is my syslog output:

I am fairly sure the USB to serial adaptor is working correctly
according to dmesg:

[    8.939008] USB Serial support registered for generic
[    8.939032] usbserial: USB Serial Driver core
[    8.948625] USB Serial support registered for pl2303

[    8.960675] pl2303: Prolific PL2303 USB to serial adaptor driver


When I run:

sudo /lib/nut/mge-utalk -DDD -a ups1

I get:

Network UPS Tools - MGE UPS SYSTEMS/U-Talk driver 0.89 (2.4.1)
debug level is '3'
initinfo: 'Si 1' unavailable, switching to 'Si' command
Syst Stat ><
Batt Stat ><
Load Stat ><
Bypass Stat ><
... etc

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Phil

I really need to update the compat list: older Evolution units, at MGE UPS
SYTEMS time, where called Pulsar Evolution and where compatible with both
SHUT and the venerable UTalk.
Nowadays (MGE Office Protection Systems and now Eaton), these are called
Evolution and are SHUT only.

so, go the mge-shut or ubshid-ups way.

cheers,
Arnaud
