Hi Everyone, New to the list. Thanks in advance for any assistance you are able to provide. I have a TrippLite SMART2200RM2UN UPS. I have installed and configured NUT as instructed on the website, and am able to monitor the status of the UPS without much problem. The only problem I am seeing is that I cannot get the machine to actually send a Low Battery ( LB ) signal. When I run "upsc myups at localhost", the "battery.charge.low" is "10". My current "battery.charge" is "6". However, when I type "upsc myups at localhost ups.status", it only shows OB and DISCHRG, not LB. If I understand the NUT process correctly, it looks for this LB status in order to create the POWERDOWNFLAG. "In upsmon.conf, add a POWERDOWNFLAG directive with a filename. upsmon will create this file when the UPS needs to be powered off during a power failure when low battery is reached." Please let me know if you need me to provide any further information. Again, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. -- Kamran Khan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The 3016 protocol models have issues with scaling on some of the voltages and frequencies. You can see this by killing the driver, and restarting it with '-DDD'. If you want to mail that log to the list, please gzip it first. Also, only about the first minute would be necessary.> device.mfr: Tripp Lite > device.model: TRIPP LITE SMART2200RM2UN > device.serial: nunyabiznisPretty sure the letters in the serial numbers are uppercase :-) Given how many of the model names are reused for very different hardware, it can be helpful to see at least the first few digits of a serial number, but in this case, I don't think we have too many other reports of this hardware to go on. The closest ones seem to be: http://networkupstools.org/ddl/Tripp_Lite/SMART2200RMXL2U.html> If I understand the NUT process correctly, it looks for this LB status in order to create the POWERDOWNFLAG. "In upsmon.conf, add a POWERDOWNFLAG directive with a filename. upsmon will create this file when the UPS needs to be powered off during a power failure when low battery is reached."That is correct. You can also configure NUT drivers to ignore the UPS's LB flag and synthesize it from battery.charge or battery.runtime: http://networkupstools.org/docs/man/ups.conf.html (search for 'ignorelb') -- Charles Lepple clepple at gmail
