[Nut-upsuser] Support for FSP EP1000

2011-03-15 Thread Brian Read
Am Trying to use nut (2.2.0 - on an SMEServer V8 aka Centos  5.5) on the 
above UPS, I've tried the megatec driver in serial and USB mode (the 
device has both types of connection), but no success.


An Example:

[root@mailserver ~]# megatec_usb -a UPS -
Network UPS Tools 2.2.0- - Megatec protocol driver 1.5.4 [megatec_usb]
Carlos Rodrigues (c) 2003-2007

Serial-over-USB transport layer for Megatec protocol driver [megatec_usb]

debug level is '8'
Checking device (0665/5161) (002/002)
- VendorID: 0665
- ProductID: 5161
- Manufacturer: Cypress Semiconductor
- Product: USB to Serial
- Serial Number: unknown
- Bus: 002
Trying to match device
Device matches
 none (-110)
Starting UPS detection process...
Attempting to detect the UPS...
Sending Q1 command...
 ok
 none (-110)
Wrong answer to Q1 command.
Attempting to detect the UPS...
Sending Q1 command...

snip

Wrong answer to Q1 command.
5 out of 5 detection attempts failed (minimum failures: 2).
Megatec protocol UPS not detected.
[root@mailserver ~]#

I can see from the website that the blazer driver has taken over from 
the megatec on, but I don't seem to have it.


Anyone any ideas?

The version of NUT you're using is almost four years old and well past  
its 'use by' date.

Upgrade to a more recent version of NUT. The current version is nut-2.6.0.

  Q: Are you sure?
  A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.
  Q: Why is top posting frowned upon?
