[Nut-upsuser] Windows 2008 R2 USBHID-UPS VendorID & Serial

[Ian Wells]

Hi Charles,

Thanks for the reply.

The actual configuration file uses regular double quotes, not smart quotes (these got added erroneously in the email).

I originally tried a number of variations, both including and exclude quotes.
The behaviour is still evident, even when omitting the serial line, and just including  vendorid, which has no quotes at all.

Regards,

Ian Wells

Hi All,

I'm trying to configure NUT 2.6.1 on Windows 2008 R2 to recognise two APC Smart-UPS 3000 devices connected via USB cables.

I have correctly installed libusb-win32, and run the driver wizard.

In my ups.conf I have :-

[Upper]
       driver = usbhid-ups
       port = auto
       desc = "Upper Smart-UPS 3000"
       vendorid = 051d
       serial = "JS1011030553"

^ Does your configuration file have regular double-quotes (") or the "smart quotes" shown above? ("")



[Lower]
       driver = usbhid-ups
       port = auto
       desc = "Lower Smart-UPS 3000"
       vendorid = 051d
       serial = "JS1011030544"


However, this configuration cause the driver to crash.
I have further identifed that inclusion of even a single instance of the 'vendorid' or 'serial' entries will also cause the driver to crash i.e. :-

[Upper]
       driver = usbhid-ups
       port = auto
       desc = "Upper Smart-UPS 3000"
#      vendorid = 051d
       serial = "JS1011030553"

#[Lower]
#      driver = usbhid-ups
#      port = auto
#      desc = "Lower Smart-UPS 3000"
#      vendorid = 051d
#      serial = "JS1011030544"

Or

[Upper]
       driver = usbhid-ups
       port = auto
       desc = "Upper Smart-UPS 3000"
       vendorid = 051d
#      serial = "JS1011030553"

#[Lower]
#      driver = usbhid-ups
#      port = auto
#      desc = "Lower Smart-UPS 3000"
#      vendorid = 051d
#      serial = "JS1011030544"

Can you let me know whether the driver on Windows _should_ be capable of supporting two UPS devices in this way?

I CC'd Fred at Eaton, who is working on the Windows port. If the code is in place, maybe he has some suggestions for getting a crash dump to help debug this.
