[Nut-upsdev] success report with megatec and Belkin F6H650UkUNV (was: Success report with network UPS tools)

[Arnaud QUETTE]

Hi Andy,

I've forwarded your info to the development list, and Carlos Rodrigues 
(the
megatec driver author and maintainer.

As a side note, there is a megatec_usb driver underway. You might
want to give it a try.

@Carlos: I let you update the drivers.list.

Thanks for your report,
Arnaud Quette

Success report with network UPS tools






Hi,

I have just successfully installed NUT 2.0.5 to manage my UPS.

My UPS model is a Belkin F6H650UkUNV which can connect via serial or USB 
- I'm using serial, along with the megatec driver and it is basically 
working fine.

The only slight quirk was the during the deep battery test, the machine 
was shut down by upsmon before the deep discharge test completed, 
although I cannot really complain since that was just over an hour on 
batteries!  The output below was taken whilst the UPS was still 
recovering.
