similar to: MGE Comet EX 11 RT frequency display (cosmetic)

We have several systems in remote locations and I have found that the ones in the US are having issues.. We are an Australian company and can't source a 110V UPS locally so we arrange to have one bought for the site when it's installed. It seems that in the US we are getting "Pulsar EX 1500" UPSs but locally we buy "Pulsar 1500". NUT seems to work find with the

I am running NUT 2.2.0 compiled from the FreeBSD ports tree.

Hi, We have been testing an MGE Pulsar M 3000 and found that the lowbatt doesn't appear to do much. You can see it in the output of upsc but battery.charge.low is still the default. Setting battery.charge.low with upsrw does seem to 'stick' though so I we can use that. Mostly I'm wondering what the driver param is for :) -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer

Hi, I am trying to talk to an MGE Pulsar Extreme UPS over RS232 with the mge-shut driver but I'm having some problems. It appears to init OK but I can't, say, turn the outlets off, eg.. harrow:~>upsc mge@localhost battery.charge: 78 battery.charge.low: 20 battery.runtime: 05760 driver.name: mge-shut driver.parameter.port: /dev/cuad1 driver.version: 2.0.3 driver.version.internal: 0.65

Hi, I have the above UPS connected to a FreeBSD 6.2 box and it shows 'data stale' very frequently (every few minutes). I have tried the usual trick of setting maxage, poll interval, etc etc but to no avail. When I wind up logging I see (on mge-shut) entering shut_get_report(id: 0d, len: 1800) shut_wait_ack(): ACK received entering shut_get_report(id: 16, len: 1800) shut_wait_ack():

Hi, I just got at work an MGE UPS Comet EX RT 7 and I can communicate fine with it through mge-shut, it detects correctly when on battery. I am using Nut 2.0.3 on Linux (RHEL 3). I am trying to simulate a low battery condition to test my shutdown procedure by setting lowbatt to 98%: driver.parameter.lowbatt: 98 but the ups reaches this value, goes to 97% and still no LB. I tried to change,

Hi, I have a FreeBSD 9.2 system with NUT 2.6.5 (installed via the ports tree) with an MGE Pulsar 1500 connected. A while ago it complained it needed the battery replaced and it was finally replaced last week, however I can't find out how to reset the flag in NUT. I've looked in upsc, upsrw and upscmd but none seem to have a suitable option. The UPS is connected via RS232 and upsc output

Not that I can see :( What would log it? I could try running the driver with debugging and see if that shows anything of

I am looking at the newhid driver for this Pulsar EXtreme here but it gives odd results, for example there is no status variable :) eg debug level is '2' Checking device (0463/FFFF) (/dev/usb0//dev/ugen0) - VendorID: 0463 - ProductID: ffff - Manufacturer: unknown - Product: unknown - Serial Number: unknown - Bus: /dev/usb0 Trying to match device Device matches HID descriptor retrieved

Unfortunately for non-debug operation, it appears that most of the usbhid-ups instcmd messages are buried at debug level 3 or 5. That

Hi, I am trying to setup a FreeBSD 9.2 under Parallels and I find that I have to tell it to present IDE disks instead of SATA ones otherwise it gets timeouts probing for the disks.

Hi, I tried updating Samba to 3.4 (from 3.3) as libsmbclient uses it and that pulls in talloc which conflicts with 3.3.. Unfortunately when I tried it, it hung when I tried to use the ldap passdb backend. I could not really get any useful debugging out of it :( The stack trace is junk (even after enabling max debug) and running with.. sudo /usr/local/sbin/smbd -d 10 -F -S Showed stuff but

Hi, I have a system which monitors 2 UPSs, and it runs upslog twice. I had a problem with newsyslog rotating the log file because upslog keeps it open (arguably a bug IMO), but it also has no way of changing the PID file so newsyslog can't HUP it when log rotating. Attached is a patch which allows you to specify the argument for writepid() so you can differentiate them easily. -- Daniel

Hi, I have an Eaton/MGE EX 11 RT UPS (uses the mge-shut driver) and while I was testing it I found that it would turn back on straight after power was restored. I had a look but I couldn't find a setting which would let me tell it to charge to (say) 50% before turning the load back on. Does anyone know if this is possible? A setting like this would provide some hysteresis for successive

Hi, In April 2009 you posted on the syslinux list trying to get FreeBSD booting from it. Did you succeed? I didn't see a reply confirming it. Also, what version of FreeBSD were you using?

Hi, I have a FreeBSD 9.2 system running Samaba 3.6.12 and I am trying to setup password syncing so Windows users can change their passwords and have that change reflected in the FreeBSD password DB. I added the following to my smb.conf unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat timeout = 10 However, when I change a password in Windows it

Hi all, Does anyone have a working password syncing setup (where changing the password in Windows will change the unix password) with Samba 3.6?
