WilliamS Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 Finally got a ups, now try to control it. :( Can someone tell me what to type into .conf ? Nothing that I type into DEVICE is acceptable. Not sure that I have the right cable, as well. Here is what I get from cat /proc/bus/usb/devices: T: Bus=02 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=02 Dev#= 5 Spd=1.5 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=051d ProdID=0002 Rev= 1.06 S: Manufacturer=APC S: Product=Back-UPS ES 725 FW:802.n2.D USB FW:n2 S: SerialNumber=QB0306160158 C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=e0 MxPwr= 2mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=03(HID ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hid E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.)

WilliamS Posted October 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2003 ...found the reason why, according to a post at: http://www.juhttp://www.justlinux.com/foru...ghlight=apcupsd This program only works in mdk with a serial cable. The one in the box is usb. :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamS Posted October 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 Best solution: Get the serial cable. Free! From APC. Install apc's ssd software. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrooks29 Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 Maybe a little late, but according to the apcupsd project page http://www.apcupsd.com/index.html ,it says it supports usb ups. I have 3 apc ups and they are all serial connections so I don't know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamS Posted October 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 True, and I finally got it to work, only to find that the author had not finished the job. While it stops all running processes, it did not do a complet shutdown :shock: The latest version probably fixes that, but not yet packaged for use by Mandrake AFAIK. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
