Well, here's the tale: we got a "replacement kit" for some APC SmartUPS 3000 - rackmount UPSs. The "kit", costing about half of what APC is asking, is just the batteries, and you pull the tray out, open it up, and swap out the batteries. Except, I did this on one... and the replace battery light never went out. Not using apcupsd's apctest, not pushing the button. The

Hi Guys, I'd like to submit a patch to enable NUT to communicate with APC 5G UPSs. The current usbhid-ups driver recognises APC UPSs by the Vendor ID and Product ID of 0x051D and 0x0002. This needs to be amended with the new Product ID of 0x0003. (See attached file: apc-hid.patch) Secondly, when Nut polls the UPS via the interrupt channel, these will time out, resulting in frequent lost

I've been looking over the documentation and several installation guides for NUT, and I'm starting to get a little bit of a feel for what it is. But I'm still not clear whether what I'd *like* to accomplish is actually practical using NUT. Perhaps someone here can tell me if they've done something similar, or if I'm way off base. I would like to set up a Linux host as a

Some of our largest systems run Windows because it supports engineering applications that we use regularly.? These applications have unattended runs that often take between ten and fifteen hours to complete.? We have taken the recommendation of the application supplier and equipped these Windows machines with UPS protection for 30 minutes at full load. The UPSs are Ethernet connected.? A support

I was testing out newhidups with an APC UPS, and I noticed that I needed '-x vendor=American.Power.*' instead of '-x vendor=APC.*' as indicated in the man page. Do other APC USB UPSes use 'APC' in the vendor string? Should we sidestep any such problems and just go with the hex vendor ID for APC examples? This was tested with a snapshot from the development branch, but the

Hi - I have 5 Linux servers connected to 1 SmartUPS 2200 VA. The software from APC for Linux requires a Windows machine be present on the network as a server in order to manage the Linux machines. This is a show stopper for us since we don't have access to any Windows machines. My first impression of NUT is it can shutdown the machine connected to the UPS via the serial cable but it

I have two UPSs, one is not connected to a computer. I am looking for a gadget that I can plug in to the other one so I can see the time remaining without a computer.

I have a network with two older systems protected by APC UPSs. Both systems run OS/2 and will continue to do so. Both systems have APC PowerChute Plus 4.2.3 installed and I can use that software to monitor and control both systems. I am also now running several linux systems, in fact I spend almost all my time on the linux systems and these OS/2 systems are servers running in the

Hi David and fellows, I'm reviving this important thread about a common power management. To sum up, the first aim is to allow a better user experience on Linux by bridging NUT with Linux HAL, and Gnome Power Management / any PM GUI. But it also initiate a bigger investigation about how to integrate NUT support for UPSs into the native OS Power Management infrastructure for all supported

We're looking at replacing some old APC SmartUPS 5000s with something that has USB so NUT can more easily talk with it (and yes, I've tried USB-RS232 adapters and every one I tried started kicking out errors within a few hours). One of the bids we have is for a "Tripp Lite UPS Smart Online 5000VA 4500W Rackmount 5kVA 200V/240V" as the potential replacement unit. I have no

Hi, I'm new to nut. I have some 100 APC Smart-UPS 2200 & 3000's and I'm trying to do some calibration test on them. I've installed nut, with driver = snmp-ups mibs = apcc in ups.conf. I can read the variables using upsc. However it seems, I can't actually execute commands on the UPSses this way. ( upscmd some-ups calibrate.start ) Do I miss something, or are those

Hi, I was wondering if there was any support in NUT for networked APC UPS's. All the configuration examples I see in the documentation are for USB/Serial connections to the UPS. I could mess around with serial/USB cables, but I'd really rather talk to the UPS over the network. I don't want all my servers relying on a single machine with a serial connection. -matthew

Hi everyone. I'm currently looking for a monitoring program for a HP PowerTrust UPS (A2998A) for Linux. It seems that nut supported these UPSs until version 1.4.3. What was the reason for the driver being removed from nut? Are there plans to reintegrate it? I was playing around with the UPS and put the results here: http://www.project-athlon.org/wiki/index.php/HP_PowerTrust_A2998A They

I'm looking to buy some new UPSs and am thinking of parting ways with APC to explore other brands. Can anyone suggest another brand that handles doing calibration runs (or maybe another brand doesn't need them) that I can automate with NUT? Thanks, -Ben

Hello All I just discoverd NUT and I'm lovin' it. I was very successful getting nut to monitor a CyberPower UPS along with having a Linux slave for a friend of mine. I've come to a snag on my personal system though. I currently have two Back-UPS XS 1200 APC UPSs, and I'm seeing notifications of low battery on both units. Now, both units are not showing 'low battery' on

Hi Is there anybody that knows the protocol for the new UPS's serial interface?
