Hi there.<br>I bought a generic UPS from a local (South African) hardware company, Sahara. They call it an "Electra 1000 Plus". From what I am told it is a 1000 VA line interactive UPS. It comes with "WinPower" Java based software that I couldn't get to work. (Crashes on start-up, without any explanation.)<br>
<br>I would like to know if any one on this mailing list could help me to figure out what NUT driver I am supposed to use. I tried megatec, without success. (/lib/nut/megatec -DDDD -a UPS1 returns with "Q1 => FAILED [timeout]" 5 times ) A potential gotcha is that I am using a USB to serial device to talk to the UPS. It looks like it has installed correctly (dmesg tells me: "usb 2-1: ch341-uart converter now attached to ttyUSB0"). The USB-Serial adapter is connected to the serial cable that came with the UPS.<br>
<br>Some pictures of the UPS and parts of its manual can be found <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/diederikjhattingh/Public?feat=email#" target="_blank">here</a> (The circuit board is just the switch. I couldn't yet get to the serial interface part of the UPS. Will still upload a picture of that when I get to it.)<br>
<br>I am using Gentoo with NUT version 2.2.2<br><br>Any help would be appreciated.<br>Thanks<br><br>
