I have an old (1997) Best Ferrups (model FE18KVA) that I am trying to monitor for the first time, but all the Best drivers fail to communicate with it. In ups_sync() in bestuferrups.c and bestfcom.c, the "time" command is sent and a one-line response is read. However, on my UPS, that command returns the current time and...

The problem will only affect newer firmwares on the BestPower FerrUPS 2.1kva units. Additional white-space was the issue. I added a if clause to the bestfcom driver to account for this without breaking what was there. Here is the patch: diff -rupN release-orig/nut-2.7.1/drivers/bestfcom.c release-patched/nut-2.7.1/drivers/bestfcom.c --- release-orig/nut-2.7.1/driver...

...we will try that first, which would negate the need to patch the driver. ________________________________________ From: Charles Lepple [clepple at gmail.com] Sent: Friday, February 07, 2014 8:21 PM To: Ritter, Nicholas Cc: nut-upsuser at lists.alioth.debian.org Subject: Re: [Nut-upsuser] BestPower Ferrups driver glitch with f commands On Feb 7, 2014, at 3:44 PM, Ritter, Nicholas wrote: > Greetings to you all, > > We are attempting to use NUT to interface with a BestPower FerrUPS FE2.1KVA.

I had a power hiccup yesterday and a server connected to a Best Ferrups 18KVA shutdown. The problem is that the UPS is reporting remaining runtime in minutes but nut treats it as seconds (so nut thought it only had 46 seconds left). Simple patch: diff -urN nut-2.2.1-dist/drivers/bestfcom.c nut-2.2.1/drivers/bestfcom.c --- nut-2.2.1-dist/drivers/bestfcom.c 2008-06-1...

Greetings to you all, We are attempting to use NUT to interface with a BestPower FerrUPS FE2.1KVA. We are using the bestfcom driver because the driver listed our UPS as supported. The driver fails, however, because "fc" commands do not exist on the unit. We are running NUT v2.7.1 on CentOS 6.5 with the bestfcom driver. We setup a serial tap and see the UPS error out on the f...

Hello, I have a Best Ferrups 3.1KVA and I noticed that the percent battery voltage reported from upsc never gets above 69.9%. I believe there is a mistake in the driver. The battery percentage is calculated based on the High Battery Alarm Setpoint (59.6V) instead of the Ideal Voltage which is about 54V (4 batteries x 13.6V)....

To deal with small model string differences that are present on the BestPower FerrUPS 2.1Kva ups, I have the patch below. The change in formatting seams to exist in firmware 9.28 and I think even older firmware. The patch is against the 2.7.1 bestfcom driver. Please pardon any errors in my patch submission has I have only submitted a patch once or twice before. This patch should fi...

If you have a BestPower FerrUPS 2.1kva or similar UPS, and use the bestfcom driver, could you please test the following patch? https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/compare/bestfcom_FE I'd like to merge it in for the next release of NUT, but I have no confirmation as to whether it works, or makes things worse. Thanks, --...

I haven't tried the NS yet but it seems to not be on the list though looks just like the Pro. Some months ago I was discussing setup of a Ferrups 700VA.  I got it to work only with a command in rc.local, but not automatically with rc.ups.  Is there a certain way to do that, or do I just have to use rc.local?  Actually I'll be trying this again later after I receive a power cable for my new small server in a week or few, and maybe it&...

I have an excellent old Best Power FE700VA but am suprised it's unlisted.? I thought Best Power ones were for critical applications, mostly for POSIX-based (Unix, etc.) servers, so I want to run it on 64-bit Slackware GNU/Linux.? I'm wondering why, or if it may be added in the future, or if there are any other options.

...d. That said, it might be that the "bestfcom" driver predates when we were actively collecting specific model names for the Hardware Compatibility List and the Device Dump Library.

I've just started using nut , and one of my UPSes is a Best Ferrups 1.8kva bestfcom seems to be the driver that would support it, but as currently in 2.0.2 it doesn't work on the FE1.8kv. I've done some hacking this afternoon and have it basically working. This is the only Best I have, so if anyone else is working on this, I was hoping to co-ordinate...

Do any known UPS's keep internal logs of events? I am currently using a slightly modified version if usbhid-ups to talk to a HP T/R2200 G2, which is internally a TrippLite UPS. The UPS is randomly turning off its output power, at intervals of once every week or two, even though during this failure it reports that input and output voltages are still around 248V (240V is nominal). The only
