Re: [Nut-upsuser] Mustek drivers

I tried all drivers with no luck, namely apcsmart, belkin, belkinunv, bestuferrups, bestups, cpsups, cyberpower, energizerups, etapro, everups, genericups, isbmex, liebert, masterguard, mge‐shut, mge‐utalk, oneac, powercom, safenet, snmp-ups, tripplite, tripplitesu, victronups. If you look in the nut source docs/megatec.txt you find. quote The following drivers are targeted for assimilation: * blazer (1) * fentonups (1) * mustek (1) * esupssmart (1) * ippon (1) * sms (1) * masterguard (3) (1) megatec already supercedes this driver in functionality. (2) megatec partially supercedes this driver in functionality, but some small features are missing (non-critical for normal operation). (3) megatec partially supercedes this driver in functionality, but some important features are missing, which means some hardware may not be supported. unquote So the driver should support the mustek protocol. With genericups I tried all UPS types with no luck. I have hit a brick wall. The generic is only for contact closure and if the ups support this you may have to use a differnet cable for this. Any ideas? Any help is appreciated. Looking at your second mail you run the upsdrvctl with debug. This would not run the driver with debug. You need to run it like. /path/to/driver/megatec -DD -a patriot You have to kill this with ctrl-c but you get debug info from the driver. Check the manual for megatec, there is some flags you may alter, like DTR and RTS in the ups.conf. Also the sendpace can be altered, this is the wait between characters. (default 100mS) Run the driver in debug mode. Alter the DTR RTS value in the config and run it again. Se if you have any responce from the Q1 command. If you get response alter the sendpace for relyable respons. As it is a text protocol you may try minicom or any terminal program and send Q1/r (Q1 followed by return) and check if you get any responce. ref: http://eu1.networkupstools.org/protocols/megatec.html Regards /Kjell ___ Nut-upsuser mailing list Nut-upsuser@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
Re: [Nut-upsuser] Mustek drivers
Citeren Kjell Claesson kjell.claes...@epost.tidanet.se: [...] So the driver should support the mustek protocol. Maybe. It could also be speaking a dialect of the Megatec protocol and use 'QS\r' to query for the status. The new 'blazer_(ser|usb)' drivers will support that, the 'megatec(_usb)' doesn't. [...] Running a driver in debug mode might help to find communication problems, but if the UPS 'speaks' a different protocol, it most likely won't reveal anything. At best it will just echo the command back to let us know it doesn't understand it. If available, running the software that was bundled with the UPS on a Windows box while running a serial port sniffer, usually provides enough info about the protocol to see what driver should support it.

They have cleaned up the driver code in NUT, and made some driver handle more types. Because you could find drivers with almost the same code, and was not maintaind. So to fix this, the support was added into one driver. You have 'Patriot...' in the description, so if it is a 'Best Power Patriot' you should try the bestups driver. But tell us what ups you have and we can go from there.
