similar to: serial/USB-over-HID layer for fentonups

Hello, I would like to know if there is a mean to prevent the driver to drop root privileges through config files ? I have seen the possibility of passing -u root to the driver command line. But I don't see how to use it with my rc-scripts without messing things badly. I have also seen the RUN_AS_USER variable but it seems to apply only to the upsmon client.

Hello, I would like to know if it's possible to use nut with a Unitek Alpha 650ip* and if it's possible which driver should I use ? Thanks.

I've just acquired a Unitek ALPHA 1200 Sx UPS to replace an older serial UPS that's been working well with NUT for years. Could anyone with a Unitek tell me what the pinout on the 10P10C plug is so I can make up a cable? Thanks.

Hello, I've already written to the list before about my non-standard hid Unitek UPS. I've tried to use hiddev to access my UPS as its USB HID interface is the same as the energizerups. Nevertheless, the protocols are different and I didn't manage to communicate with my UPS through hiddev. Moreover, the problem described in this page http://www.vttoth.com/ER-OF800.htm about the Linux

Hi everybody, I've got an Unitek iZi UPS 525 with a serial interface. The supplied cable looks fairly simple: RX->RX , TX->TX and GND->GND. Using this cable and Minicom with 2400 8N1 I'm able to issue commands to the UPS using the "Megatec Protocol" http://www.networkupstools.org/protocols/megatec.html so I know the UPS is fairly "intelligent" :-) and the

Hi ups-devel, As I looked throw www.networkupstools.org site, haven't found any pointers where to send patches, so I hope this is the right place. (Please let me know weather this is the right place.) The patch contains a minor change in the logic of the driver, our Effekta MHD 3000 UPS continuously writes status data to the serial port, so one has to send a CR character and empty the

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 Stefanos, you should mail to the NUT list, and try the megatec driver, which is only available from subversion for the moment (but should be included in the next stable release). Carlos might give you some help with this driver.

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

This might not be a bug - it could be that I reconnected the supply to soon. I say this

Hi All, I am a newcomer to Nut, so firstly hello :-) I am keen to implement Nut and have been digging around most of the day to see how to get my two Unitek 1250xD UPS devices working. I have now managed to get nut installed (from source 2.2.0) and have (I think) success. I found a post here: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/nut-upsuser/2007-December/003573.html which was

Hello to all list members, I'm trying to make my UPS work with nut-2.2.2 (using Debian Testing, but compiled from source code) for a week ago, with not success. It's a Unitek Alpha 1000Ps, and I supossed it would work with megatec_usb driver, as other Unitek models. It has an USB interface, and when I plug it into my system I've got this message: chopito:/home/jordi# dmesg | tail

Hi list here is the patch to make fentonups recognize some PowerCOM's UPS's, and to setup terminal lines for them (at least for SMK-1500a) as powercom's original upsmon do. fentonups -x powercom works correctly with SMK-1500a (it screamed ''Communications with UPS lost - check cabling' or 'Short read during UPS id sequence' without this patch). Sorry for

After trying the 'powermust' driver I can confirm it works well with the F6H500ukUNV ups from Belkin. I reported my tests but by accident posted them directly to Carlos and not the mailing list (sorry Carlos). Anyway brief summary of the powermust driver with the F6H500ukUNV; Detects Online state. Reports the Battery charge correctly. Detects On Battery State. Detects Low Battery State.

Hi, Just a quick message to say thanks for this great piece of software. Is it possible to add the Unitek Alpha 500 isx to the list of working UPS? I have tried it this afternoon on one of our machines and it is detected allright using the megatec_usb driver. It worked on Ubuntu Server "Hardy Heron" 8.04.1 using nut v. 2.2.1-2.1ubuntu7.2 Cheers, Mathieu
