<br>
I use a SL1000 UPS. The model is marketed by Advice, and looks like<br>
their continuation of the Sustainer UPS line. It comes with both a<br>
serial and USB port. The serial version of the SL line always worked OK<br>
under Linux with their grotty (but adequate) UPSMON program, which comes<br>
with the unit (or may be downloaded from the Powercom site.<br>
www dot pcmups dot com dot tw).<br>
<br>
My current workstation does not have any serial ports, so the supplied<br>
UPSMON will not work.<br>
<br>
As proof of hardware integrity for what follows, I ran up the supplied<br>
Windows UPS software on an XP client running under VMware. The new USB<br>
device was detected and everything worked as it should.<br>
<br>
Back to Linux:<br>
I'm running openSUSE 11.1 with KDE 3.5 fully updated.<br>
<br>
First, the relevant line from lsusb:<br>

For some reason, the printout did not include this:<br>
<br>

modprobe: Yes<br>

modprobe cypress_m8<br>

modprobe usbhid<br>
<br>
I installed nut. It has a configuration file, /etc/ups/ups.conf, which<br>
requires this:<br>
<br>
[upsname]<br>
driver = <drivername><br>
port = <portname><br>
< any other directives here ><br>
<br>
The critical items are drivername and portname.<br>
The nut documentation suggests the use of /dev/hiddev0 for portname,<br>
however I don't have any /dev/hiddev0, 1, 2 ... entries. (nor do they<br>
exist in some sub-direcory).<br>
<br>
As an inspired (?) guess, I tried driver = powercom and port = /dev/ttyS0.<br>
<br>
The upsd daemon started , but was unable to communicate with the device:<br>
Here are the last few entries from syslog:<br>
<br>
Aug 18 13:40:11 danny upsmon[15804]: Poll UPS [myups@localhost] failed -<br>
Data stale<br>
<br>
Aug 18 13:40:12 danny powercom[15796]: data receiving error (-1 instead<br>
of 11 bytes)<br>
<br>
Aug 18 13:40:16 danny upsmon[15804]: Poll UPS [myups@localhost] failed -<br>
Data stale<br>
<br>
Aug 18 13:40:17 danny powercom[15796]: data receiving error (-1 instead<br>
of 11 bytes)<br>
<br>
<br>
It's easy to see what's happening: The poller sends a Ctl A (I think) to<br>
the UPS and should get back 11 bytes of status data.<br>
<br>
<br>
And so to the $64,000 question: What should I be using for these two<br>
parameters?<br>
<br>
<br>
An RTFM would be fine, but go find the FM to R!<br>
