Hello, I have one UPS Infosec XP Pro 2500 RM and it works with windows sw RUPS2000. Now I want to install this UPS as virtual server on vmware ESXi vMA - (SUSE SLES 11SP2 linux). On this linux I have NUT 2.6.0 and I stopped now with configuration of genericups driver. Working cable (direct cable pin1-pin1 ... pin9-pin9) connection on Windows: PIN | PC | UPS __________________________________________________________________________________ Pin1 | DCD | described as DTR (must keep Hi) Pin2 | RxD | AC Power fail (NO, connected to pin4 UPS ground in case of AC failure) Pin3 | TxD | N/A Pin4 | DTR | UPS ground Pin5 | GND | Battery low (NO, connected to pin4 UPS ground in case of LB) Pin6 | DSR | 1. described as UPS RxD and 2. 3 seconds Hi (UPS shutdown) Pin7 | RTS | UPS ground Pin8 | CTS | N/A Pin9 | RI | described as UPS TxD And the question is, how to configure CP[???], OL[???], LB[???], SD[???]? No one from predefined 21 types worked for me. Thank for help, Robert SZAKSZ.

It seems to be possible if the other software is using it, but genericups can only send a BREAK signal (rather than receiving it).> Pin3 | TxD | N/A > Pin4 | DTR | UPS ground > Pin5 | GND | Battery low (NO, connected to pin4 UPS ground in case of LB) > Pin6 | DSR | 1. described as UPS RxD and 2. 3 seconds Hi (UPS shutdown) > Pin7 | RTS | UPS ground > Pin8 | CTS | N/A > Pin9 | RI | described as UPS TxD > > And the question is, how to configure CP[???], OL[???], LB[???], SD[???]? > No one from predefined 21 types worked for me. >The RUPS 2000 cable type in genericups seems to correspond to a crossed cable as shown in 5.2.1 below: http://web.archive.org/web/20100106160328/http://ups.miem.edu.ru/ups_faq5.html You might also be able to connect up the TxD and RxD lines, and use the nutdrv_qx (not available until after v2.6.5), megatec or blazer_ser drivers: PC UPS Description == === ==========2 9 TxD 3 6 RxD 5 7 Ground -- Charles Lepple clepple at gmail
