<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am new to UPSs and Linux. I purchased a Belkin F6C750-AVR UPS for our church. We are running CENTOS 5.2.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I tried the Linux Power Management Software that came with Belkin UPS with NO success.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I installed the NUT software.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>After some experimentation I received some success with the megatec_usb Nut driver:</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>As you can see the F6C750-AVR appears to be megatec protocol.</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>Does anyone know what I need to do to control how I can control the Belkin F6C750-AVR UPS?</DIV>
