I had some free time this weekend, and made some long overdue changes to "megatec". The thing is, these changes lead to a couple of questions that I must ask before I go on and "svn commit" them: 1) The blazer, fentonups, esupssmart, ippon, sms and mustek drivers are now completely covered and all of their functionality should now be present in megatec, and also every model

Hello Nut List! I have 2 "Lacerda 10KVA" UPS that returns strange values for Q1 and F commands: Q1 (215.0 215.0 219.0 004 60.0 2.27 39.0 00000001 F #220.0 045 240.0 60.0 At least what I know about Megatec, It seems to say that it has a 240.0 V battery with currently 2.27V. Quite strange. I contacted Lacerda to help me interpret this values and they said that 2.27 is just 1 element

Hi all, Currently, the "megatec" driver only supports UPSes which have a serial (RS232) interface. However, I'm under the impression that most of the models that speak the megatec protocol, and have an USB interface, just have a standard serial-to-USB converter inside. This being the case, there should be a "/dev/ttyUSBx" device which the megatec driver could use just as

Hi there, A couple years ago, I had patched the "fentonups" nut driver to allow it to work with my Unitek Alpha 500 UPS. My patch had been accepted and incorporated in the standard fentonups driver. I have had no time to stay involved in the "nut" project since (and besides this I'm not a developper...). 2 days ago I upgraded from Ubuntu Gutsy to Ubuntu Hardy and got

Carlos, Today I was browsing through the NUT Tracker and noticed an entry which linked to a message on nut-upsdev: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/nut-upsdev/2006-January/000559.html Although the fentonups driver is no longer in the tree (since it was replaced by the megatec driver), I think there is still some merit in this patch. Notice the following lines from this message: >

Hi again, I tested several times using the Megatec driver from nut 2.2.2 to no avail, as it definitely never "sees" the UPS.

Hi Andy, I've forwarded your info to the development list, and Carlos Rodrigues (the megatec driver author and maintainer. As a side note, there is a megatec_usb driver underway. You might want to give it a try. @Carlos: I let you update the drivers.list. Thanks for your report, Arnaud Quette -- Linux / Unix Expert - MGE UPS SYSTEMS - R&D Dpt Network UPS Tools (NUT) Project Leader -

Hi! I don't know how I missed it before, but "bestups" seems to implement mostly the same protocol as megatec. Is anybody out there using this driver willing to try "megatec" to see if it works? AFAIK, the only difference seems to be the command that gets the UPS identification data ("I" on "megatec", "ID" on "bestups"), but

Hi, I just acquired a Ritmo AS-800VA. Unfortunately, it doesn't work out of the box with nut - so I had to do a bit of reverse engineering on the protocol to get it working. Am now posting my findings here in the hope it will get this added to the next release. There are also 1000VA and 12000VA versions that this should work with. The protocol is very similar to the megatec protocol -

Hi, I'm not the maintainter for the "megatec_usb" driver (in fact, I'm no longer maintainer for the base "megatec" either), so I don't really know the status for that particular UPS. I'm forwarding this to the NUT mailing-list though. Regards, -- Carlos Rodrigues On Fri, Dec 5, 2008 at 10:30 AM, Adrian Czerniak <adrian.czerniak at becomo.com> wrote:

good new first: the megatec driverin 2.0.5 now works with the Online Xanto S3000R here - well, for the very basics. the UPS has NO way ofidentifying itself. It also does not respond to the power ratings query ("F"). I previously used a hacked up fentonups driver. This means the driver cannot figure out the battery voltage and thus no battery charge level, which is a problem in our

Hello I've got an Unitek UPS (650ipE) that use megatec driver ...

Hi! This is the weirdest problem I have found for a long time! Using nut-2.0.5 and a Gentoo powered HP Proliant ML350 I setup the config files just the same as I always do and tried to get the megatec driver chatting to the UPS. It worked fine on a Windoze server with Upsilon2000 so I have a bit of confidence in cable etc! When I ran upsc after starting upsd to complained about stale data! Most

Hello, I have bought Powerman Optima 500 Plus UPS. While this product might be unknown outside Russia, it is shipped with megatec software and obviously works with megatec driver in NUT. besides the following problems (I think they are caused by one reason): 1) megatac driver is able to load and detect UPS only on second or third run. On the first run it typically fails. Later if daemon is

Hello, I think that on this file nutdrv_qx_megatec.c the definition for shutdown.stayoff may be wrong. In the file the definition is "S%sR0000\r"m while on the megatec protocol description ( http://networkupstools.org/protocols/megatec.html) the command is just "S%s\r". When I changed it my system was abe to at least stay off, and stopped making an instant power recycling.
