APC Back-UPS Pro
Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble with getting an APC Back-UPS Pro running on freebsd. It seems to be working with upsd from the ports collection. But every while I get a whole load of lines looking like this: upsd[355]: apc_tune: negative repsonse: N upsd[355]: apc_tune: negative repsonse: ^M upsd[355]: apc_tune: negative repsonse: ^M upsd[355]: apc_tune: negative repsonse:N upsd[355]: apc_tune: negative repsonse: NO upsd[355]: apc_tune: negative repsonse: NO I haven't changed anything from the default config, just plugged it all in as per the APC instructions. I've probably just missed something dumb. It does pick up line fails and when the powr comes back on. just those messages.

I had similar troubles on a Smart-UPS using the port /usr/ports/sysutils/nut The problem however seemed to reside in the source used when building the port After doing a 'manual' build of the very latest source the problem was fixed. | Hope this helps!

Check your config and make sure you aren't adding extra spaces. I woudn't discount that the APC is doing wierd serial things -- it always seemed flakey to me when I was working on upsd. upsd hasn't been touched in years so it's possible it still has bugs :) Doug White| FreeBSD: The Power to Serve [EMAIL PROTECTED] | www.FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message

I've got a system that sees these and has been running for almost 3 years w/out any problems, and actually has had do the 'UPS' shutdown thing once or twice, plus it's lived through thousands of brownouts and power failures.
