Re: [Nut-upsuser] Setting MGE powershare attributes
Hi,a second try since I've got new info on that point...as you are interested in, I've taken a bit of time to study back these points.2006/6/27, Carlos Rodrigues [EMAIL PROTECTED]:Hi!We have two MGE Evolution 1100 here, and I want to make use of the powershare outlets to force a particular boot sequence on the machinespowered by them. However I'm not sure how to set those variables uponNUT starting, without having to change the init scripts to callupsrw. Is there some place where I can set them, where they can be readautomatically on startup?One of the UPSes is connected to a SUSE box, and the other to a Debian box.there are two things: * in the MGE HID data, we have two kind of delay things: - the *DelayBefore* which are timers and are to be considered as instant commands and not as settings as this is currently the case. - then, the interesting point for you, we have *Timer (ShutdownTimer and StartupTimer) which are only available for outlets, and which are settings. This means that your needs would be addressed using this (once cabled on outlet.X.delay.*).This way, if you set outlet.1.delay.start to 20 (sec) and outlet.2.delay.start to 30, then when the power will come back, the UPS will restart, but outlet1 will be powered 20 sec after, and outlet2 30 sec after. I've not yet changed the data in mge-hid, but if you're interested in, I can make a testing change in trunk so that you can test it...Arnaud-- Linux / Unix Expert - MGE UPS SYSTEMS - RD Dpt Network UPS Tools (NUT) Project Leader - http://www.networkupstools.org/Debian Developer - http://people.debian.org/~aquette/ OpenSource Developer - http://arnaud.quette.free.fr/ ___ Nut-upsuser mailing list Nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser

Re: [Nut-upsuser] Setting MGE powershare attributes
I've just commited something in the trunk.It works for newhidups, but I've not tested it much yet...For the recall, the need is to have a special powering order of the outlets at boot time.Use case:
- we have two outlets, identified in the nut tree as outlet.1 and outlet.2- we want to power up outlet.1 10 sec. after the UPS has restarted its _output_, and outlet.2 20 sec. after the UPS has restarted its _output_
How to set this up (while waiting for docs/powersave.txt completion):- configure the ups {on,off}delaydriver.parameter.offdelay: 90driver.parameter.ondelay: 120This means that, in the end of the shutdown process, we will send an order to poweroff the ups 90 sec later.
When the power will be restored, the ups will wait for 30 more seconds (120 - 90), and will then power up output.- 10 seconds later, outlet.1 will be powered up- 10 more seconds later, outlet.2 will be powered up
enjoy, and remember that it's still to be completed.Feedback welcome.Arnaud-- Linux / Unix Expert - MGE UPS SYSTEMS - RD DptNetwork UPS Tools (NUT) Project Leader -

[Nut-upsuser] protocol for Surge MAX
I am sorry if this is an FAQ, but there doesn't seem to be searchable archives, and the supported manufacturer's list doesn't include surge master. Google was also not much help. I have just put a Linux box and the customer has a surge max UPS. Anyone any ideas what protocol it uses? There is a Green serial cable. The manufacturers web site is here: http://www.surgemax.net/list_cat.php?category=2 But it isn't much use... -- Cheers Brian Reliable, secure and affordable Office servers using Open Source software http://www.abandonmicrosoft.co.uk ___ Nut-upsuser mailing list Nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser

Am I going in the right direction this time?your guess seems right.The best to validate your guess is to modify the 20 to 8 in get_interrupt() and to recompile nut. Let me know the result, and I'll fix that for 2.0.4-pre2 next week. If something is not working, you can try to reset the communication: power off the UPS, then unplug its power cable, wait (at least) 10 seconds and replug/restart all.Well, that's something I'd like to avoid, since all the institution serversare fed by the UPS.

Re: [Nut-upsuser] protocol for Surge MAX
That page mentions safenet. You can try the safenet driver to see if it works.

The devices pictured on this page are identical to the Fenton PowerPal P600 I have here and which is supported by the safenet driver. It also mentions SafeNet Version 1 software, which is indicative that this is the same unit.
