similar to: MGE Ellipse 800 USBS doesn't shutdown under FreeBSD

Hello nuters, FreeBSD, Ellipse USBS 800, serial line, nut 2.02 everything works fine. But I'm only able to get an automatic shutdown when reaching the built-in 30% level. I the "lowbatt parameter" is set to anything, it's simply ignored. This is a problem as I want to shutdown around 90% to avoid the battery to drain out when multiple shutdowns occur. Any idea ?

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

Hello all, I've got an MGE Pulsar Ellipse Premium 800 powering a couple of FreeBSD systems. Driver used is mge-shut, I don't know what the new mge-shut driver offers, but I follow the "if it works, don't fix it" dogma here. :) I also had a nut server installed on the master, with the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nut script slightly modified to include a couple of upsrw commands

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 there, I've replaced yesterday my old UPS with a brand new "Eaton Ellipse MAX 600 USBS". I've choosed the Eaton (previously MGE) both because I've always been extremely satisfied with MGE UPSes of all kinds at work, and because of the involvement of MGE (with Arnaud) in nut development, which made me quite sure that I would have no trouble with an Eaton (MGE) UPS and

Hello. So as my english is not so good, i'll try to write my story in bash commands :o) miwa@zork3$ uname -mrs FreeBSD 5.5-STABLE i386 miwa@zork3$ su root@zork3# cd /usr/ports/sysutils/nat root@zork3# make && make install root@zork3# cd ../nut-usb root@zork3# make && make install root@zork3# cd /usr/local/etc/nut root@zork3# cat ups.conf user=root [MGE-Ellipse]

Hello! We have two upses: MGE Pulsar M 3000 and MGE Pulsar EXtreme 3200C. They connect to server by USB. EXtreme works good with usbhid-ups (nut 2.2.1) and newhidups (nut 2.0.5). But Pulsar M doesn't want to work with usbhid-ups. - my ups.conf: [extreme] driver = usbhid-ups port = auto product = "EXtreme" [pulsar] driver = usbhid-ups port =

Hello, I'm facing problems as I'm installing NUT to monitor a MGE Ellipse ASR600USBS on a FreeBSD 6.1 box. UPS is recognized as : ugen0: MGE UPS SYSTEMS ELLIPSE, rev 1.10/42.41, addr 2 I'm temporarily using root profile (devfs/devd scripts not modified atm). newhidups starts & runs fine (unplugging mains makes newhidups outputs lots of data when started with -DDDD flags)

upsmon.conf using NOTIFCMD and NOTIFYFLG is working well, it is calling my script "notify" on requested events (ONBATTERY,LOWBATTERY and ONLINE). Command #upsmon -c fsd -u monmaster myups at localhost gracefully shutdown my box and after several seconds switch off the ups's load. Two problems: - notify script is called and executed as user "nut" (as it used to be

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

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 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,

For now I think that my box does not recognize signal about low battery - I'm only started to read SHUT

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

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.

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

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 was looking at how other drivers deal with outlet collections, and I noticed some differences between newhidups in 2.0.4 (from Debian's 2.0.4-2.3) and the SVN trunk (rev 723) on an Evolution. Full diff is below, but here are the highlights: * MGE HID 0.9 vs 1.0 * outlet.#.switch seems to have moved to the commands outlet.#.load.{on,off} Then I found this in the ChangeLog: * fix
