I noted some correspondence from several years back about supporting this device with bcmxcp, and the problems therein. Since I have one of these UPS units, still going strong, and the Eaton LanSafe stuff has finally caused me enough grief to abandon it, I figured I'd take a look at this. The issue is not that bad - the bcmxcp driver query of the topology block (2 bytes!) is returning

Hi all, I've hooked up an Eaton Powerware 5110 to Ubuntu 13.10 server, and configured nut appropriately. The cgi scripts are working fine, but on upsstats.cgi, the Batter, UPS Temp and Battery Runtime fields are all blank - and there are no entries for these values in the 'All data' tree. I've checked the man page for bcmxcp_usb

For fun, if you want to see where the system thinks it is linking a library from, you can use "ldconfig -p" and it will give you a path to all known libraries that it can find. If you have one loaded, and it can't find it (odd directory, etc.) you can always amend "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" the same way as PKG_CONFIG_PATH I mentioned earlier . . . . PKG . . . is for the build

Rob - Just stepping in from the sidelines . . . with a few tidbits. Nut uses pkgconfig to find and identify stuff as part of it's build . . . So, depending on where your libusb install went, if it wasn't in the default "PKG_CONFIG_PATH" setting, it won't be found. Much like other shell variables, you can adjust that setting to find anything you like . . . IE

Hi, I've got a Powerware Prestige 9 1kVA UPS that seems to not be working with nut. It's not in the current "supported hardware" list, but the old bcmxcp page lists it as being a UPS that speaks that protocol. I have the following in my ups.conf [powerware] driver = bcmxcp port = /dev/ttyS0 desc = "Powerware Prestige 9 EXT" baud_rate = 2400 And when I start the

Hi all, I've more-or-less got NUT 2.0.4 working with my Powerware Prestige 1000VA UPS (serial), but unfortunately NUT is flagging LOW_BATTERY continuously, which is a tad embarrassing when power fails ;-) The numbers from upsc blah at localhost seem reasonable: ambient.temperature: 24.5 battery.charge: 99 battery.runtime: 3999 battery.voltage: 69.2 driver.name: bcmxcp

Hello, does NUT support Powerware Prestige EXT 1000VA / PowerWorks A30 models in smart mode? I don't see them mentioned in the compatibility list (only Powerware 3115 and 5119 are there, listed as supported only by the "genericups" driver). Is the protocol known to be compatible with any other, supported UPS types? Thanks, Marek

Run the driver with -DDDDD and see what variables it picks up. I have noted that with the Prestige 9 in bcmxcp, some variables are not consistent within models, and had to do some gentle remapping to get things to work correctly. - Tim On 02/12/2014 06:46 PM, Greg Vickers wrote: > Hi all, > > I've hooked up an Eaton Powerware 5110 to Ubuntu 13.10 server, and > configured nut

(I saw this flipping through the archives for something else.) Marek, did the bcmxcp driver work for you or is your UPS too old? John

Question: I just uploaded the git development repository, and upon building it, I note that on the bcmxcp driver, it would appear that the git tree is actually older than what is in the 2.7.1 release: Git: Network UPS Tools - BCMXCP UPS driver 0.28 (2.7.1) RS-232 communication subdriver 0.20 2.7.1: Network UPS Tools - BCMXCP UPS driver 0.26 (2.6.5-3857M) RS-232 communication subdriver 0.20

My company is developing a new UPS, with smarts provided by a PIC32 Microchip micro-controller. The controller comes with a demo for a USBHID-UPS, and after some tweaking, I was able to get NUT to recognize it and start showing some reasonable values. To make this UPS as easy to use as possible for the end-user who chooses Linux, I figured I would just completely implement the official USB HID

Hi all, I can see the RH7.3 linux box I've configured with the latest Redhat RPM samba package in the Windows 2000 network neighbourhood, but when I double click the W2000 computer icon I get the message "\\Linuxbox is not accessible, The network path was not found." The network is a small switched lan, sadly with only one unix box (RH7.3) and a mixture of Windows2000 and 98

The meter map is basically a bitmap that indicates what variables are output (and in what format) by the UPS. You will likely see a variable, 'not mapped' or nothing. The variables and 'not mapped' items are output by the UPS in the measurement block, and the map tells nut how to read it. 'Unmapped' means that there is a variable there that nut is ignoring, and the xcp
