I like that ups but I do not understand why he does not want to work

[kkd]

try without pollintervall
or
change 10 to 15
or
check /var/etc/ups.conf
leave only the first 3 lines and reboot

[D1M0N]

I've tried all the options, to no avail

my ups.conf

Code: Select all

[APC]
	driver = usbhid-ups
	port = /dev/usb/0.2.0

in file /usr/local/etc/nut/driver.list
my UPS named very strange
can in this case?

"APC" "ups" "2" "Back-UPS ES/CyberFort 350" "USB" "usbhid-ups"

if i edit this file nothing bad will happen???

if u change the webgui it writes the ups.conf file.
try port = auto not /dev/...

[D1M0N]

I understand the principle of the console.
I have tried all options - "auto", "ugen0.2", "usbus0", "USB"...
If i connect to my PC or netbook, UPS normal configured and "PowerChute" good work with UPS

Some sites write that user need to register separately for NUT working...??
I have only "admin" (root) user.

[kkd]

great

no need fro that, "only" admin is enough.

[D1M0N]

Thank you for your concern, I will wait for the update

[kkd]

do u use the newest n4f?

[D1M0N]

n4f - what is it? sorry

[D1M0N]

im stpd
yes last version

Version 9.1.0.1 - Sandstorm (revision 804)
Build date Wed Jul 24 22:18:09 CEST 2013
Platform OS FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE-p4 (kern.osreldate: 901000)

64 bit

[kkd]

maybe try other usb port
or
change the usb setting in the bios
or
use Windows PC and use the APC Powerchute software to confirm the UPS Identifier

no more idea

[D1M0N]

If i connect to my PC or netbook, UPS normal configured and "PowerChute" good work with UPS

I wait new build NAS4free...

[D1M0N]

My problem has remained unsolved.
who has a working config for 525 APC?

[kisiel]

The same problem here with APC Back-UPS CS 350

Anyone?

but UPS seem to be working on my ubuntu (vbox guest on my N4F) with NUT 2.6.3

cheers
Marcin

[D1M0N]

I changed to a different model UPS - APC BACK-UPS RS 1500VA
its work good, and i dont have problem.

[kisiel]

I have switched to apcupsd.
Works like a dream.
