[Nut-upsuser] 06da:0002 Phoenixtec Power Co., Ltd UPS

[janc at telefonica.net]

Hi! all.

I have been reading every mail and news about nut and 06da:0002
Phoenixtec but not found a solution.

I have a very nice working ups from:
CENER ref: "Active 1000VA 230V 12 CENER" and front logo "LA 900"

It has COM3 and USB plugs, I don't know if it needs a standar RS232 

I have test with varius drivers in ups.conf
[MyUPS]
driver = bcmxcp_usb | usbhid-ups | blazer_usb  (one of then each time)
port = auto

Hm, bad idea. The Phoenixtec make the interface card to early Powerware
ups'es with just the Vendor/product id 06da:0002. And it speaks the
bcmxcp protocol. B.t.w an bad usb implementation that need a dirty fix
to make it work.

I can't find that "dirty fix to make it work"

After replace with new batteries, it keeps beeping every minute, I need
to reset batteries counter or timer ?????

Anyone can help me about this CENER como "Active 1000VA 230V 12 CENER"
