Hi Have been trying to get nut and Powercom Vanguard 2000 ups communicating ? in the /lib/udev/rules.d/52-nut-usbups.rules file we have this entry #? PowerCOM VGD - Vanguard? - usbhid-ups ATTR{idVendor}=="0d9f", ATTR{idProduct}=="0004", MODE="664", GROUP="nut" ? In the /etc/ups/ups.conf [UPS] ??????? driver = usbhid-ups ??????? port = /var/lib/ups/hiddev0 ??????? productid = 0004 When running the command upsdrvctl -u nut -DDDDD start ? It returns Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.2.2 Starting UPS: UPS exec: /sbin/usbhid-ups -a UPS -u nut Network UPS Tools: 0.29 USB communication driver - core 0.33 (2.2.2) No matching HID UPS found Driver failed to start (exit status=1) ? Nut version nut-2.2.2-3.el5 on kernel 2.6.18-308.11.1.el5PAE ? If we try using the powercom driver it complains it is a usbhid-ups and if we try some of the powercom settings in the ups.conf the usbhid-ups driver rejects them as unknown (ie) model = , linevoltage = .... ? lsusb -vd 0d9f:0004|sed -ne '/^\w/p;/\bi/p'? returns Protocol spec without prior Class and Subclass spec at line 4297 Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0d9f:0004 Powercom Co., Ltd Device Descriptor: ? idVendor?????????? 0x0d9f Powercom Co., Ltd ? idProduct????????? 0x0004 ? iManufacturer?????????? 3 POWERCOM Co.,LTD ? iProduct??????????????? 1 HID UPS Battery ? iSerial???????????????? 2 004-0D9F-000 ??? iConfiguration????????? 0 ????? iInterface????????????? 0 ?

The log shows Jul 21 21:32:29 server upsd[3760]: Can't connect to UPS [UPS] (usbhid-ups-UPS): No such file or directory Jul 21 21:32:30 server upsmon[3764]: Poll UPS [UPS at localhost] failed - Driver not connected Jul 21 21:34:35 server upsmon[3764]: UPS UPS at localhost is unavailable ? Is there something simple we are missing? Why does it add the UPS stanza to the driver (usbhid-ups-UPS) name and then fail? Is there a patch for the usbhid-ups driver to recognise the Vanguard series? TIA ? Regards ? ? Compsos ? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
