[Nut-upsuser] Re: F6H500ukUNV working with fentonups driver
Hi Patrick, 2006/4/2, Patrick Beard [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi Arnaud, Just wanted to let you know the the Belkin F6H500ukUNV is working for me with the fentonups driver. http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatSectionView.process?IWAction=LoadMerchant_Id=Section_Id=202840 I originally tried it with the genericups driver with upstype=7 but this gave me 'On battery' 'Low Battery' all the time. I went through all the upstype settings but none worked. I then tried the 'bestups' driver but this never worked. However the fentonups driver does seem to work for me. It correctly identifies online and on battery events. It also recognises the 'Low Battery' event. One thing I have noticed is that it always reports the battery charge as 100% - but this might be down to the ups. I've never used this type before so don't know if it does report its battery charge. imho, this is due to the fact that fentonups has a lookup table for each models, defining the way to compute some values, like battery.charge... I tested it by pulling the supply to the ups. It got the 'on and then the 'low battery' upsmon then shutdown my system. The ups however remained on. the ups shutoff (hardware ups shutdown) seems not to be working. Carlos might have more ideas on the cause... I'm using the Ubuntu Dapper 2.0.3-4build1 nut package The Belkin is connected using the serial cable but this is through a usb/serial convertor. so the port is /dev/ttyUSB0 The fentonups driver identifies the Belkin as 'BELKIN PowerPure aster' (Not a mis-type it is 'aster') probably a fentonups bug (I've previously seen that kind of truncation...) Anyway - I just wanted to let you know and also thankyou for you work on nut. as there are chances that the fentonups will also be replaced by the megatec driver, can you give a try to it with the NUT 2.1 in subversion: http://eu1.networkupstools.org/source.html @Carlos: can you check to update the compat list, and further testing with Patrick?

The ups however remained on. the ups shutoff (hardware ups shutdown) seems not to be working. Carlos might have more ideas on the cause... This might not be a bug - it could be that I reconnected the supply to soon. I say this because I now remember that after testing the shutdown worked the ups remained on so after some time I reconnected the supply and when the ups came back online I turned my pc on. Early on during the boot process the ups clicked and the pc lost power. I checked the ups straight away and it was powered and seemed ok. When my pc lost power I'm sure the ups made a 'switching' sound. -- Patrick ___ Nut-upsuser mailing list Nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
Re: [Nut-upsuser] Re: F6H500ukUNV working with fentonups driver
The UPS didn't turn off, but did you try to wait a while? powermust turns off the UPS immediately, but I'm not sure about fentonups now. Some drivers wait a minute before turning the UPS off.

The identification string has fields with a fixed number of characters (space filled), maybe fentonups is just splitting them wrong.

Patrick, can you try the powermust driver? Maybe it calculates the battery charge better (if it doesn't, you can send me the output of upsc when the UPS is fully charged, and when it hits low battery). -- Carlos Rodrigues ___ Nut-upsuser mailing list Nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
