[Nut-upsuser] SOLA-330 2 Questions !!!

[Scott Evans]

Hi...

I'm almost to the point of pulling hair!

I was recently given a SOLA-330 UPS 

However, it didn't come with the comms cable so I'm having some trouble
trying to find a pin-out for this UPS and secondly exactly what driver
to use with NUT ??

I've got the users manual for a SOLA-325 (from website) and this has a
pin-out for this model but clearly it's not the same for the 330 as I
have tried to make a simple cable using... ( RX &TX lines and ground
only, this cable I believe is my main problem!)

UPS - PC
1    -    2
2    -    3
4    -    5

And with this I then attempted to fire up NUT using the suggested driver
of "megatec" however I get the error message of "Communications with UPS
ups at localhost lost" so clearly the driver is finding what it wants to
see! and then it informs that... "UPS ups at localhost is unavailable" I
have also installed the CGI web interface and this just reports that
"[error: Connection failure: Connection refused]"  (Doh)

So my configuration is as follows...

UPS.CONF
[ups]
    driver = megatec
    port = /dev/ttyS0
    desc = SOLA-330

UPSD.CONF
ACL all 0.0.0.0/0
ACL localhost 127.0.0.1/32
ACL firewall 192.168.0.1/32
ACCEPT localhost
ACCEPT firewall
REJECT all

UPSMON.CONF
MINSUPPLIES 1
SHUTDOWNCMD "/sbin/shutdown -h +0"
POLLFREQ 5
POLLFREQALERT 5
HOSTSYNC 15
DEADTIME 15
POWERDOWNFLAG /etc/killpower
RBWARNTIME 43200
NOCOMMWARNTIME 300
FINALDELAY 5
RUN_AS_USER root

HOSTS.CONF
MONITOR ups at localhost "IBM-eSERVER"

UPSD.USERS
[admin]
password = mypassword!
actions = SET
instcmds = ALL
                        
[monuser]
password = mypassword!
allowfrom = localhost fileserver
upsmon master
                                                
[monslave]
password = mypassword!
allowfrom = firewall

The version of nut is from the Ubuntu 8.10 repositories (2.2.2) and the
server is running Ubuntu-Server 8.10

So what have I got so horribly wrong for things to make "ME" a little
grumpy! so any advice on this would renew my sanity!

Thanks...
