Greetings, I'm new to the list, and didn't find an archive, so please bear with me: I have a new APC Back-UPS XS 1200 model BX1200. The USB cable attaches with an RJ-45 on the UPS side. I'm using the hidups driver, and the default log format gives me lines like this: 20060317 041353 100 NA 0 [OL] NA NA 20060317 041454 100 NA 0 [OL] NA NA Can I do better than that with (a

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

Thought I would write some notes about how I got an APC BackUPS XS 1500 working with newhidups under Gentoo 2006.0. The specific issue here is the permissions on the device files used that libusb uses to access the USB hardware. I followed Peter Selinger's instructions at http://www.mscs.dal.ca/~selinger/ups/backups.html on getting newhidups going with an APC device. The sticking point for

Paolo, Try sudo /lib/nut/newhidups -DDD -u root -a SmartUps1500 newhidups would only run on my computer if I ran it using sudo and as root user. I know this indicates a problem with the USB permissions, but I could not, for the life of me, get the permissions to change when I plugged the UPS in. I know this isn't a true fix, but it worked for me. -- ~Brian Foster

Whenever I try to use the newhidups driver with my new UPS I get the following message: #/lib/nut/newhidups -DDD -a SmartUps1500 Network UPS Tools: New USB/HID UPS driver 0.28 (2.0.4) debug level is '3' [...skip unrelevant device...] Checking device (051D/0002) (001/005) - VendorID: 051d - ProductID: 0002 - Manufacturer: American Power Conversion - Product: Smart-UPS 1500 FW:601.3.I USB

I'm using an APC Back-UPS XS with nut 2.0.3. I've recompiled/reinstalled the source, and switched over to the newhidups driver (instead of the old hidups driver). I modified by ups.conf to use newhidups. The hotplug files were not automatically installed, I had to copy those from the scripts directory to my hotplug/usb directory. The newhidups driver loads find and then works for a

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

Well, after our first real extended power outage, I found out that even though the UPS 1000 RM is recognized okay, it does not work properly. It never seems to see any change in UPS status. It looks very similar to the other issue I reported with the APC CyberFort 350. I never was able to get to the bottom of the CyberFort issue, but I'll bet it's the same issue as we have with the

Hi there, been using NUT for ages and recently upgraded to a new server; while I'm waiting for a USB->Serial adapter for Solaris to arrive, I thought I'd play with the newhidups, as the APC UPS I have has a USB port and the new server doesn't have a serial port.... I've got Solaris 10 & newhidups working with the ugen driver up to a point, and that is a read

Hi all, I've tried installing NUT from both the Debian packages and the 2.0.4-pre1 source but I'm unable to sort out the USB permissions when using the newhidups driver and an APC XS series UPS. In each case, I'm able to run newhidups as user root but running it as user nut fails: --- as 'nut' # /lib/nut/newhidups -u nut -a apc1 Network UPS Tools: New USB/HID UPS driver 0.28

Greetings: I've been following through the instructions on how to connect an APC BackUPS 650 ES to USB, and have it monitored with NUT... I know my system can SEE the UPS, as DMESG shows this: hiddev96: USB HID v1.10 Device [APC Back-UPS ES 650 FW:818.w1.D USB FW:w1] on usb-0000:00:04.2-1 usbcore: registered new driver usbhid drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.6:USB HID core driver I can see

Hello world; been using nut atop Debian GNU/Linux (sid) for about two years by now, my configuration broke as I upgraded the machine this morning (headin' for kernel 2.6 to have full support for the new GBE NIC included). I read through the UPGRADE.gz instructions provided with the Debian packages and tried to fix things according to the instructions pointed out there, but things still just

Hello, We have two APC Back-UPS RS 1500 USB stuff, and i've got a bit of a problem with it and NUT. The usbdevs output: addr 2: Back-UPS RS 1500 FW:8.g8 .I USB FW:g8, American Power Conversion addr 3: Back-UPS RS 1500 FW:8.g8 .I USB FW:g8, American Power Conversion (UPS1 and UPS2) I've configured our NUT system to monitor the UPSes, and it went very fine till the time had arrived for a

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

Hello, I'm currently try to get newhidups running with the newhidups driver from nut 2.0.2. After some USB issues (usb_claim_interface() works only as root so far) newhidups is recognizing the device. Though it doesn't detect any state changes, meaning when I run the battery test mode it's not recognized. I wanted to try the CVS version but it seems anonymous CVS is broken. The

Hello, I'm using the stable amd64 port of Debian Linux. I installed (the latest) nut-2.0.1-4 and nut-usb packages for utilizing an APC Smart-UPS 1500 USB. I tried "apcupsd" first but "nut" makes an even more sophisticated impression on me and has more security options. I had problems with the newhidups driver. It didn't find a device with matching VendorID. And
