[Nut-upsuser] Nut and PowerWare 5115

[Greg]

Hi everyone,

Been searching like crazy to find an answer to this. I have even read some of the source code but cannot figure this one out.

I have installed nut 2.4.1 on my QNAP 409 Pro. (command: ipkg install nut)
I have configured the ups.conf, upsd.conf and upsd.users.

When i run "upsdrvctl start" I get the following error messages and output.

====================================================================
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.4.1
Network UPS Tools - BCMXCP UPS driver 0.21 (2.4.1)
USB communication subdriver 0.17
Communications with UPS lost: Receive error (data): got 33 bytes instead of 116!!!

Communications with UPS lost: Receive error (Request command): COMMAND: 31

RECONNECT USB DEVICE

Can't set POWERWARE USB configuration
Unable to find POWERWARE UPS device on USB bus

Things to try:

 - Connect UPS device to USB bus

 - Run this driver as another user (upsdrvctl -u or 'user=...' in ups.conf).
   See upsdrvctl(8) and ups.conf(5).

Fatal error: unusable configuration
CLOSING

Driver failed to start (exit status=1)
====================================================================

My ups.conf looks like this

user=admin

[PowerWare]

driver = bcmxcp_usb

port = auto

desc = "PowerWare 5115 UPS"

#pollinterval=1

baud_rate = 9600


I have tried various configurations but nothing seems to work.

Once I receive this error I need to disconnect and reconnect the USB cable to get any further.
Is there anything I can try?
UPS work correctly on a Windows Vista/2008.

Over the next few days I will try and install NUT on ubuntu 8.10 and try it on that.

Thanks for your help!
Greg
