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 all, First of all thanks for the great work on nut ! (despite it's not fully functional yet overhere). Everything seemed to go fine until the final test : shutdown the UPS ! The system is running FreeBSD 5.3, the UPS is MGE Ellipse 800 USBS both linked with the MGE serial cable. The system is a remote server, only running some file services and large disks. The porting,

Dear NUT user, You are right concerning the autonomy calculation on Ellipse 650 UPS ("Low End" small Off Line UPS) => the estimation is not really accurate (and also a little bit pessimistic) => this is a known limitation that was documented on the previous NUT mailing list (before Alioth.org) MGE will stop soon the production of these models and will sell Protection Center and

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

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 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

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

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

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,

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.

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

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

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)

Hello.

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.

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

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 >

Hi, I've got two MGE Ellipse 1500 UPS connected via usb to an ubuntu jaunty system with nut and libupsclient1 2.4.1-2ubuntu4. As soon as I start the driver for the second one, they start fighting each other and I get no data. I found an older post to this list that said: If you want to monitor multiple UPSes through usbhid-ups, you *must* make sure that each one can be uniquely identified
