Dear List, The driver usbhid-ups does not detect my MGE Ellipse 1500. I'm running openSuSE Linux 10.3, kernel 2.6.22 with mgeups-psp-3.0.4-2, nut-2.2.0-20 installed from MGE's rpm's. (Merci MGE!) lsusb shows: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0463:ffff MGE UPS Systems UPS /etc/ups/ups.conf says: [myups] driver = usbhid-ups port = auto desc = "Local UPS"

I have an MGE Ellipse Premium 1200 that I connected to my server using its USB cable. Nut seems to be working fine. I've done a power down test and it worked and came back up when the UPS had power again. I'm using the newhidups driver and the USB cable. The problem I'm having is that if I boot with the cable connected newhidups says it can't find the UPS. If I unplug and plug in

My new MGE Ellipse Premium 1200 is now working fine. I've tested pulling the plug and the computer shuts down properly and comes back up when I replug. The only strange behaviour is that when I put the power back on the battery shows as being at 86%. If it was at 86% it should have lasted longer. Is there any calibration step I can do? The only commands the ups seems to support are: $ upscmd

Hello everybody, Our supoprt team is facing a problem which froze the CPU. They suspect that this happens after an automatic battery test, which lets the battery goes down to 30% and then stop the test. At this level of charge, our kernel also triggers a shutdown (CPU and UPS). I saw (in the doc found here : tools.*mge*ops.net/download/intl/products/*ellipse*-asr/28-umeasr_08.pdf) that this

Hello, I have Ellipse ASR 1500 UPS and now I'm trying to monutor it with NUT from FreeBSD. It seems that there are some problems with this UPS: =================================== ugen0: MGE UPS SYSTEMS ELLIPSE, rev 1.10/42.41, addr 2 > usbdevs -v Controller /dev/usb0: addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, OHCI root hub(0x0000), NEC(0x0000), rev 1.00 port 1 powered port 2

Hello, I have an MGE Ellipse 500 UPS for about 8 years, connected to a local OpenBSD server through usb, running nut-2.2.1. I used to occasionally drain the UPS battery to see if the local server was shutting down cleanly my desktop PC and it was working OK. Suddenly, there was a power failure last week, the UPS was serving the two PCs (the server and the client) for 30 secs and then it went

Hi, My UPS is MGE Pulsar Ellipse Premium 1200VA, connected on USB port, usbhid-ups driver. Using simply KNotify about UPS connection states I noticed that sometimes unpredictably a notification appears that the USB connection to the UPS is lost and a few seconds later another notification appears that the connection is restored. And this repeats to infinity. The only way to get out of it is to

Fellows, back for 4 days, the baby and the mother are now at home, and the father is... hem, well not so fresh ;-) For those interested in some pictures: http://benjamin.quette.free.fr/ 2006/11/16, Peter Selinger <selinger@mathstat.dal.ca>: > ... > Arnaud: could you please amend the instructions on the NUT download > website http://www.networkupstools.org/source.html (Development

Hi again, As a followup to my previous post, just a couple words to add a comment on the numerous tests I did the past days. It was necessary to increase the waiting time in the /etc/ rc.shutdown, to wipe out the remaining problems (ups didn't shut down). # a rather large sleep to insure the ups stop babbling sleep 20 It appears the ups needs more than 20 seconds to

I'm now doubting if I've made this statement or not, so here it is: newmge-shut is *not* ready for production usage! I've lately found some bugs during the MGE PSP 3.0.4/3.0.5/3.0.6 updates. So for the moment, prefer to keep using mge-shut. 2007/10/25, R?zsa G?bor <mailer.tovis at freemail.hu>: > newmge-shut ??? > Shutdown, switch of ups does not work. Using command >

I've recently bought an MGE 650 that has both cables : USB and Serial. Since it's used on a server, I'd prefer not to load usb drivers just for nut. The problem is, either with newhidups or with mge-shut, the driver instantanly report that the communication with my MGE is lost, and shotly after that my ups is unavailable. It never show up again, and nut constantly says that the

I'm struggling to configuring nut for MGE Pulsar Ellipse 800 (at least Ellipse 800) for two boxes - home firewall and file server. I'm using Debian 4.0 Etch, every one of them. I'm built (after some dangerouse experiments) a testing configuration, where boxes are plugged to line, server playing as a master, firewall as a slave, and UPS connected to an electric heater about 300 Wats (no

I am running Ubuntu 6.06 connected via serial port to an MGE Pulsar Ellipse 800VA. Have just installed NUT 2.0.3, and have problems with connectivity. This UPS was workign via serial connectivity to a BSD system only a few days ago. I have followed the instructions at http://opensource.mgeups.com/install/debian.htm The details... jason@ubuntu:~$ ls -la /dev/ttyS? crw-rw-rw- 1 root dialout 4,

I have trouble in getting communication work with MGE Ellipse 500. I bought it second hand and I don't have the cable for it. How do I know if it's the Serial or USB model? The serial number of the unit is: 769B16015. I suspect it is the serial version as the label next to the RJ11 stands "com port", but I can't be 100% sure. MGE Ellipse serial cable pinout can be found

I have an Ellipse USBS connected via serial cable to a CentOS 3 box. Do I need to turn off the UPS as the final stage of shutdown, or will the UPS power itself off, before the battery reaches a level to low to safely recharge from? I notice there is the option for the UPS to turn itself off (and on again) unattended if power is restored during shutdown, but there doesn't seem to be an option

Hello happy nuters, Some complementary words about making nut 2.02 successfully run on FreeBSD with MGE Ellipse. With the usefull information Arnaud sent, it's rather obvious that the erratic response of the ups to the shutdown script is linked to its difficulty to handle large traffic on the serial line. These are the final tweak I made to have this configuration satisfyingly

Hi everyone, This is not directly NUT related, but i don't know where else I can still ask this. I have been using a pretty decent 2nd hand MGE ellipse premium 1200VA for a while now at home. http://www.mgeups.com/download/doc_intl/ small/premium/389uk.pdf It's been working very well for me on linux, but my linux server has recently passed away and now I only have Macs left.

My UPS is a Eaton Ellipse 1000S (But its identified as MGE Ellipse 0463:ffff). I have been using the usb interface with the usbhid-ups driver, but I found that sometimes (too much times) the driver doesn't respond and NUT doesn't receive changes nor notifications from the UPS. The kernel lose the connections with USB device, in the kernel logs appears: Dec 30 11:24:12 rei kernel:

Hi, I have recently purchased MGE ellipse 1200 UPS for my home system. Obviously, the choice of this particular brand was mainly dictated by MGE's long-standing support for Linux and NUT project. The fact that the box was clearly the prettiest looking one on the block did help also ;-). I have had NUT tools installed and configured in no time, as I did it numerous times before -- kudos
