Nut upsuser - Apr 2011 - Is "eaton 5115 UPS" compatible with NUT

Hi.


I'm using ubuntu 10.04 and I'm in the process of buying a ups.


This is it (eaton 5115 ups) with usb interface


http://powerquality.eaton.com/05146561-5591.aspx?CX=3




I had a look at the ups compatibility chart here:


http://www.networkupstools.org/stable-hcl.html


But I can't find this particular ups listed.




I plan to use NUT v. 2.4.3 that I can get from the repositories.


I had a look at the manpage for the "bcmxcp_usb" and
"usbhid-ups" driver


http://www.networkupstools.org/docs/man/bcmxcp_usb.html


http://www.networkupstools.org/docs/man/usbhid-ups.html


According to the manpage, "usbhid-ups" should support "the newer
Eaton USB models"


So my question is, will this driver work with this ups?


I have to know before purchasing.


Thanks.

You have to look at Powerware for that one. This is a model
before Eaton marked there series.

And yes it is compatible with the bcmxcp_usb driver.

Try to get a new version. I think Ubuntu have the latest.

No, you will need to use the bcmxcp-usb driver.
