sure.

can you just post me the output of:
- upsc,
- upscmd,
- upsrw.

Have you tested a standard shutdown (ie OB until LB, or calling "upsmon
-c fsd")?

thanks for your report.

[Nut-upsuser] Eaton NV 1000H in nut's hardware compatibility list

Hi Vitor,

please, keep the list cc'ed since other might interested in (either the
solution, or their 2 cents to the discussion). Moreover, knowing that
I'm not an author of the megatec / blazer drivers, things might be
obvious to these guys and not to me...

I realise that I completely forgot to tell you to test blazer_usb, which
will soon replace the megatec ones.
the best would be to give it a quick shot through the development tree,
without installing anything (inplace testing).

I've never played with this protocol, but it seems that you will have to
use the various parameters to finalise its setup:
mfr, model and battvolts in ups.conf

first try blazer since iirc, it's more smart.

you should really take a look at blazer's manpage:
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/karmic/man8/blazer.8.html

Arjen, it's always good talking to someone who really understands what
they're talking about.

You're right. Brazil's voltage standard is 110v in some cities, 220v in
most
and always 60hz. About the ups, it has a big red label stating "use only on
220-240V". I really liked your input, so don't get me wrong here: as
this
product was bought (in fact, given to me) in Brazil I'll just assume Eaton
is selling an ups that's appropriate for use here.

I've read the megatec man page and I'll configure the driver properly.
My
distro (ubuntu 8.04) doens't come with a blazer driver. But anyway, *in my
case* I just don't think it's worth configuring the battery charge
level.
The only thing that's really important is to get the pc to shutdown before
the battery goes dead.

Now I'm pretty sure it never goes beyond 90%, but I can live with that.

Thank you all for the help!
