Hi everyone, This is not directly NUT related, but i don't know where else I can still ask this. I have been using a pretty decent 2nd hand MGE ellipse premium 1200VA for a while now at home. http://www.mgeups.com/download/doc_intl/ small/premium/389uk.pdf It's been working very well for me on linux, but my linux server has recently passed away and now I only have Macs left. Therefore i wanna use this UPS for my mac trough USB. According to the online documentation this UPS has a "new communications port on the Pulsar ellipse models incorporates USB and Serial modes". However since this thing is 2nd hand from a now defunct internet company, apparently the USB cable was lost before I bought it.
I have been scouring the Internet for several days now, but I can't even find where to buy an official cable (and i suspect it's probably expensive) and I cannot for the life of me find a schematic or something that describes what kind of cable this is exactly so that i can acquire one locally or build my own cable. So the questions are: 1: is the USB cable simply like the RS232 cable but with built-in USB converter ? 2: or is the com-port some sort of "autodetecting" system that can work in both a USB and a RS232 config ? In that case, would anyone know the USB pin layout of the socket on this thing ? 3: has anyone else used this or a similar MGE system on the mac? 4: Does anyone know a cheap address for one of these USB cables in the Netherlands, or at least Europe? greetings, DJ _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
