[Nut-upsdev] Question on support for Upsonic Commercial UPS CXR 2000 - 2000VA/1200W - Rack/Tower on Freebsd 9.1.

[Chris Duffy]

Charles,

Here is the output:

ugen1.3: <USB UPS PPC> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=LOW (1.5Mbps) pwr=ON

   bLength = 0x0012
   bDescriptorType = 0x0001
   bcdUSB = 0x0200
   bDeviceClass = 0x0000
   bDeviceSubClass = 0x0000
   bDeviceProtocol = 0x0000
   bMaxPacketSize0 = 0x0008
   idVendor = 0x06da
   idProduct = 0x0005
   bcdDevice = 0x0003
   iManufacturer = 0x0003  <PPC>
   iProduct = 0x0001  <USB UPS>
   iSerialNumber = 0x0000  <no string>
   bNumConfigurations = 0x0001

I am running all the ups programs as root, i.e. "ps -aux" shows:

root   39901   0.0  0.0  22388  3860 ??  Is   12:57AM     0:00.00 
/usr/local/bin/upslog -s UPSonic at localhost -l /var/log/ups.log -i 300 -u 
root
root   39976   0.0  0.0  22392  3804 ??  Is   12:57AM     0:00.00 
/usr/local/sbin/upsmon -u root localhost
root   39978   0.0  0.0  22392  3900 ??  S    12:57AM     0:00.01 
/usr/local/sbin/upsmon -u root localhost

The /var/log/ups.log does not have much in it either that
makes sense....maybe I need a utility to decode it?
Sample lines from the is file are:
