Hi,
I am wanting to use NUT to connect to an Eaton Powerware 5110 UPS using
USB to connect.
- I am using NUT 2.0.2
- I have compiled it with USB support
- I can see that the UPS is registered as connecting in /var/log/messages
eg usb 3-1: USB disconnect, address 3
usb 3-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4
But I don't know how to progress from here. I have used the following
commands:
mkdir /dev/usb
mkdir /dev/usb/hid
mknod /dev/usb/hid/hiddev0 c 180 96
mknod /dev/usb/hid/hiddev1 c 180 97
mknod /dev/usb/hid/hiddev2 c 180 98
mknod /dev/usb/hid/hiddev3 c 180 99
However, I'm not sure how to check that there is a link between hiddev0
and the USB device that's registering above.
- In a fit of woeful optimism I have configured ups.conf to connect to
hiddev0 but I get this error when I run upsdrvctl
hiddev path open /dev/usb/hid/hiddev0: No such device
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)
I have been looking to this document
(http://www.vttoth.com/ER-OF800.htm) as well as attempting to follow the
nut FAQ:
If anyone could please help me that would be much appreciated.
Kind regards,
John
