Hello, does any one know how to change the date of the self tests on APC UPSes ? I'd like to be able to choose the day and the hour so that it happens at office hours, in case of any problem... I've tried to do this by launching a test at a convenient time, but the self tests still occurs at the previous date and hour :-( Regards. -- Frantz de Germain D?partement Informatique UFR

I am having problems with mouse, keyboard and APC UPS. When attempting to start apcupsd I get the following error: Jan 8 17:42:06 Ace apcupsd[1606]: apcupsd FATAL ERROR in generic-usb.c at line 636 Cannot find UPS device -- For a link to detailed USB trouble shooting information, please see <http://www.apcupsd.com/support.html>.

?I've been using nut on an APC Back-UPS 750 for several years with no problem, seeing the walled "UPS on battery power" messages during short 1-2 minute outages. This is connected with the original USB cable that came with the unit. After replacing the battery recently, nut always triggers a shutdown when AC power is cut off, even if only for 1 minute. I see that the data fields

Hi, I am trying to set up NUT on a mini-ITX system running OpenBSD 5.5. I have an APC Smart-UPS SC620 which runs perfectly well on Ubuntu, with nut-2.2.1. Ubuntu system uses ASUS motherboard. On mini-ITX system, I have Intel d2500cc motherboard with 4 serial ports. I've tested ports by connecting them with a null-modem cable and running cu in 2 terminals. Type in one terminal, output shows

Ok, so another apc UPS 3000 complained about bad batteries, and I changed them out from the same order that I'd gotten in a couple of months ago. The APC SmartUPS 3000 started connecting and disconnecting the USB connection. I brought down and up the service, no joy. Finally, after googling, I found a *completely* undocumented way to start apcupsd, that a few years ago someone was told to

Hi, I have two types of UPS devices and one of them (APC) gave me a false "low battery" alert. I can't reproduce the problem... Also, there was nothing apparently wrong with the UPS at the time of the false alert. All I could do was grab the driver values within a minute after the "low battery" notification. These are the values: battery.runtime.low : 120
