Nut upsuser - Dec 2016 - [HCL] Cyber Power Systems EC750G supported by usbhid-ups

I didn't want to sign up for the nut-devs list or create a git account
just to provide this information, so I hope posting this info here is OK...

I just bought a Cyber Power Systems EC750G UPS for use as a spare.  Here
are some info for it:

Misc.

The result of the command

 upscmd -u user -p password myups load.off.delay 300

is an immediate power-off, no delay.

Let me know if there's any other info that would be useful....

Not a problem. (Both lists go into the same mailbox on my end.) The important
part is the "HCL" subject so I can find it later.

For anyone else who runs across this: you don't necessarily need to be
subscribed to the list to send an HCL entry. It will take some time for me to
get to the moderator web page to let it through, so please be patient.

Hmm. Certainly possible that we are sending the delay to the wrong spot.
Hopefully the 300 is overriding the 20-second delay specified by
ups.delay.shutdown.

You can try restarting just the driver with debug flags - something like the
following, depending on your distribution's paths:

/lib/nut/usbhid-ups -a <name> -DDD 2>&1 | tee CPS-EC750G.log

Let it run for 45-60 seconds and then stop it with Ctrl-C. Please compress the
log with gzip before posting.

Hi Charles,

Command, run on FreeBSD 11.0 (amd64)

/usr/local/libexec/nut/usbhid-ups -a myups -DDD 2>&1 | tee CPS-EC750G.log

70 seconds of output attached.


Let me know if you need anything else.  This is an 'on the shelf' spare
UPS for me, so there is some flexibility in playing with it...

thx.
