[Nut-upsuser] Plexus UPS on a QNAP NAS

Hi,

Has anyone managed to get a Plexus UPS talking to their NAS. I've followed
the excellent instructions here http://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?f=182
<http://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?f=182&t=35970&start=0>
&t=35970&start=0
but I'm not there yet.

When I manually start upsdrvctl without the UPS plugged in I get 

 [~] # /usr/bin/upsdrvctl start
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.4.1
Network UPS Tools - Megatec protocol driver 1.6 (2.4.1)
Serial-over-USB transport layer 0.10
No supported devices found. Please check your device availability with
'lsusb'
and make sure you have an up-to-date version of NUT. If this does not help,
try running the driver with at least 'vendorid' and 'subdriver'
options
specified. Please refer to the man page for details about these options
(man 8 megatec_usb).
Please report your results to the NUT user's mailing list
<nut-upsuser at lists.alioth.debian.org>.

Driver failed to start (exit status=1)
[~] #


When I plug the UPS in I get

 

[~] # /usr/bin/upsdrvctl start
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.4.1
Network UPS Tools - Megatec protocol driver 1.6 (2.4.1)
Serial-over-USB transport layer 0.10
Can't claim USB device [0001:0000]: could not detach kernel driver from
interface 0: Operation not permitted
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)



My ups.conf looks like this

 

[qnapups]
        driver = usbhid-ups
        port = auto
        mfr = "Plexus"
        model = "Plexus 500VA UPS"
        desc = "Workstation"
        pollinterval=1
        ignoreoff


lsusb shows before the UPS is plugged in

 

[~] # lsusb
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 04a9:10b0 Canon, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05e3:0608 Genesys Logic, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002


And after

 

[~] # lsusb
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0001:0000 Fry's Electronics
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 04a9:10b0 Canon, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05e3:0608 Genesys Logic, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002



Anyone any ideas...?

Thanks,

Jon C

you are missing the udev device permissions settings:
http://www.networkupstools.org/docs/user-manual.chunked/ar01s05.html#Ownership

if the file scripts/udev/52-nut-usbups.rules is not installed in
/etc/udev/rules.d/, do so and refresh you udev configuration using "udevadm
trigger --action=change".

cheers,
Arnaud
