similar to: Support for APC Smart-UPS X 3000

Just my experiences speaking, look at another brand. I use MGE/Eaton and have had much better life and the quality has been much better. APC does not release the protocol for comunicating with the UPS and so to get NUT to work you have to sniff the traffic and then figure out what the commands and responses mean.(thus reverse engineered) APC also will change the protocol between models. (Thus why

I wanted to suggest some rating for functionality. I got the UPS available that seemed to have the best possible rating from NUT's list (Eaton Powerware UPS 1500), and found out it doesn't support telling me battery level or runtime! :/ Luke

So where does this leave things regards Eaton and shut down? Has anyone managed graceful shut down from an Eaton unit with either of the ushhid or bcmxcp drivers? Perhaps I should be coming at this from the other end of the stick. What manufactures have the best support in NUT that I can look at and be confident I'm likely to have a successful deployment? Really the only deal breaker

Generally speaking, the UPS will signal when it reaches a low battery state, regardless of whether the UPS publishes runtime statistics, battery percentages, or any other

Nut for Windows 2.6.3-3 + Eaton/PW 5110 (103004256-5591). I had to manually install libusb driver and I'm using bcmxcp_usb. upsd.exe is reporting to me "Out of memory". It will run, but once anything connects to the daemon, it dies with that message. I don't have much experience with NUT yet so I'm not sure what the next course of action is. I do have NUT for Windows

Dear folks, According to mge-mib.c (NUT 2.6.2) LB condition is gained from variable .1.3.6.1.4.1.705.1.5.14.0 (i.e. upsmgBatteryLowBattery.0). The test device of me does not set this variable to yes(1) even if runtime drops below the preconfigured limit. I complained about this at Schneider Electric. They replied that low battery status is indicated by .1.3.6.1.4.1.705.1.5.14.0

Hi everyone, I just want to know about driver support over new APC smart models. My company recently bought a Smart-Ups RT model: SURT3000XLI and a I cannot do to make work it with last version of nut software. Maybe this model it doesn?t supported yet and I want to know if so. The diference with others models like matrix or backup ones is the famous Smart Cable: 940-1525A (utp - db9). I

I have been running a Smart-UPS RT 3000 VA using nut successfully over the 940-0095B cable for a couple of years. I have just received a second unit, but it is slightly different in 3 ways that I have found so far. 1. It's a Smart-UPS RT 3000 XL 2. The 940-0095B cable now uses an RJ45 connector at the UPS end. 3. It now requires a baud rate of 9600 instead of the 2400 used previously.

Hello I recently switched from apcupsd to NUT2.2.2 without any troubles. I tried to figure out how I can configure the self-test intervall. The command upsrw lists only the variables battery.charge.low battery.runtime.low ups.delay.shutdown ups.delay.start The command usbhid-ups -D and the listing under http://obsvermes.org/cgi-bin/nut/upsstats.cgi?host=apcsmart at localhost&treemode

a customer of mine needs a UPS capable of supporting a small server in his office. Obviously, nut is a good thing for him for clean shutdown etc. especially with the crappy quality power in his office condo. I wanted to purchase an MGE UPS but it looks like they purchased APC and are now flogging that product line. Now, I've never been happy with APC. I have an APC 3000 (sans

I think the time for me to get involved in NUT documentation has come again. Late last week I had to buy a UPS under time pressure. The Eaton unit that thus project gifted me with in 2006(?) died during a severe thunderstorm watch, so it was off to MicroCenter to get a replacement pronto. I wound up buying an APC BN700MC. It was what they had in the performance range I needed. The removable

Hi, I need to get a USB based UPS for a system which is running NUT 2.0.4 (a Debian Etch system). Does anyone know of a UPS that I can buy today that is supported by 2.0.4? Unfortunately upgrading the OS (and NUT) isn't an option. Previously, we used the Powerware 5110 (which used the bcmxcp_usb driver) and that worked fine, however that UPS has been discontinued and is no longer

Hi Luke, I'm looking at buying an Eaton EX 3000 - also with a good rating on the compatibility list. My main need is to shut down gracefully my Debian servers. Were you able to get that working? Could you do it at a specific % remaining battery if you couldn't get the battery level? *Paul O'Rorke* Tracker Software Products paul at tracker-software.com <mailto:paul.ororke at

Anyway, it is a strange thing that I can set the waiting time for power to be restored if main power comes back before offdelay has elapsed, but the UPS ignores this setting if main power comes back after
