<br><font size=3>Dear Sir,<br>
<br>
I have recently purchased a MegaTech UPS (UPSilon 2000) and the cd that
came with it was including drivers for Operating Systems like Novell, all
windows, Linux and FreeBSD. <br>
Unfortunatelt the drivers for Linux / FreeBSD are quite old (Linux 2.x
and FreeBSD 2.x, 3.x, as also a patch for FreeBSD 4.x) and even though
I tried to install them was a total waste of time for me. Nothing was applicable
for it. Compat3x is no longer support.<br>
<br>
I went to FreeBSD channel (IRC) and spoke with few folks and they recommended
me NUT. I installed it successfully from ports but right now I am confused.
I tried to read the instructions from NUT web page but unfortunately I
confused my self more.<br>
I have found the samples .conf files that installed with the ports and
I created new .conf files so I may use them for my usage and I saw the
examples mentioning UPS name...sparky was the example if I am not mistaken.
<br>
Well...what name shall I give for my UPS? The name of the model which is
UPSilon 2000?<br>
[UPSilon 2000] or [UPSilon]?<br>
Another thing is with serial port devices. In the example you are giving
a name for serial port ttyS1 or something similar (for Linux) and as you
mentioned for FreeBSD we shall use cuaaN device. Well <br>

<br><font size=3>these are my devices and I have make bold the possible
devices that I could use according your manual. The strange thing is that
should be a sioN device somewhere here and there is not. Also the the paradox
thing is that I have only one serial port! and here I can see 2 ttydNs.
Also I red the handbook for serial printers installations and they use
ttydN. What shall I do? You are mentioning to Installation procedure to
use cuaaN...<br>
<br>
Another thing: I really need your help because also the </font><font size=2 face="sans-serif">/usr/local/ups/bin/upsdrvctl

<br>
With dmesg command I can see <br>

What is going on here? :))))) I have only one serial port (COM 1 I guess).
I need to know what device shall I use. Also my UPS is an "online"
model because i have problem with my cables at home (we are renting it)
and this problem manage to burn me three times my TFT power supply. Fortunately
was into the warranty, I replaced my screen and my power problem solved
with the usage of UPS because it has also stabilizer. I have to be very
careful with the tests that I must try. So please help me with this only,
not to tell me step by step what to do but to help me go on with one step
further.<br>
<br>
Please help me whenever you can.<br>
<br>
Thank you very much<br>
