[Nut-upsdev] Powerware 9125 & bcmxcp driver

[Баталов Григорий]

Hello!

It looks like bcmxcp driver doesn't fit my device:

UPS Model                    PW9125
UPS Firmware Version    FP: 1.10 INV: 1.10
VA Rating                      3000 VA

Web/SNMP card is present.

Minicom connection to /dev/ttyS0 gives nice banner and control menu,
but they prevent nut driver from working correctly (I guess). UPS should
be switched into "Pass-Through" mode before BCM/XCP commands
became actual.

How to deal with such UPS? Should I modify default bcmxcp driver or
somehow turn device into supported mode?

Banner and menu:

You are entering a direct UPS communication mode.
While in this mode, normal communications between the UPS and the card
will be suspended. You will not be able to monitor or configure the card
using your browser or SNMP. Any registered NetWatch shutdown clients will
lose communication with the card, but will automatically re-register with
the card after the Pass-Through mode has been terminated.
