Nut upsuser - May 2014 - blazer_ser: UPS behind seriell ethernet converter

Hi,

I'm trying to get an Effekta UPS (works directly with blazer_ser) working
behind a seriell to ethernet converter (Brainboxes ES-246).

I've set the converter to 2400 baud, 8N1, no flow control. On the linux side
I
started socat and blazer_ser. All I got are timeouts after 12 seconds. I can
see network traffic with tcpdump but I've no idea what to do to get this
working.

Does anyone have experencies with blazer_ser and a remote UPS connected via
seriell ethernet converter?

Many tanks.

Network traffic in which direction(s)?

There is a Github pull request for a serial-over-ethernet converter:

Here's some additional discussion:

We're going to need some help either way.
