[Nut-upsuser] Tripp lite SMART1000LCD

Sun Jan 27 04:55:15 UTC 2008

Charles,

I know the port should work as I have used it for other devices
so I reconnected the ups and used a usb hub in between and
I got it recognized in the kernel but the nut driver did not seem
to attach properly:

# dmesg:
:
usb 4-2.1: new low speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 100
usb 4-2.1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
hiddev0: USB HID v1.10 Device [Tripp Lite  TRIPP LITE UPS ] on usb-0000:00:10.3-2.1

# lsusb
Bus 004 Device 100: ID 09ae:2007 Tripp Lite
Bus 004 Device 099: ID 05e3:0605 Genesys Logic, Inc. USB 2.0 Hub [ednet]
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0430:0100 Sun Microsystems, Inc. 3-button Mouse

I followed the instructions in the INSTALL file but I may have missed something:

# /usr/local/ups/bin/upsdrvctl start
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.2.1
Network UPS Tools: 0.29 USB communication driver - core 0.32 (2.2.1)

Using subdriver: TrippLite HID 0.2 (experimental)
Startup timer elapsed, continuing...
===================================================
Is this an error ? Shouldn't the driver usbhid-ups be referenced here
when my conf file is:

# cat /usr/local/ups/etc/ups.conf
[SMART1000LCD]
driver = usbhid-ups
port = auto
desc = "Tripp Lite SMART1000LCD USB"

Starting the daemon gives:
# /usr/local/ups/sbin/upsd
Network UPS Tools upsd 2.2.1
listening on 0.0.0.0 port 3493
Can't connect to UPS [SMART1000LCD] (usbhid-ups-SMART1000LCD): No such file or directory

Thanks,

/Karl
