Good Morning:
I'm trying to get my UPS to work with my Linux box. I'm running Red Hat 9.0
with all of the latest updates. I have an APC SmartUPS 1000XL, and I believe
that it is being seen correctly on the bus. A quick look at
/proc/bus/usb/devices has the last entry showing this:
T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 2 Spd=1.5 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=051d ProdID=0002 Rev= 0.06
S: Manufacturer=American Power Conversion
S: Product=Smart-UPS 1000 XL FW:631.3.D USB FW:1.5
S: SerialNumber=AS0315130454
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=e0 MxPwr= 30mA
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=03(HID ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=(none)
E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 6 Ivl=100ms
If I read it correctly, the device number is 2.
Now, reading through the documentation found at www.linux-usb.org, it didn't
specifically state what driver to try for a UPS. Looking at
/proc/bus/usb/drivers, I got this:
drivers
usbdevfs
hub
96-111: hiddev
hid
Since it appeared that the device was being seen by the system, I tried to
properly configure upsmon to see the device, and have the ups service
properly start. However, when /etc/rc.d/init.d/ups starts, I'm presented
with this:
Starting hidups: Network UPS Tools: HID UPS driver 0.11 (1.2.0)
Warning: This is an experimental driver.
Some features may not function correctly.
/dev/ttyS0 is not a UPS
Starting upsd: [OK]
Starting UPS monitor (master): Network UPS Tools upsmon 1.2.0
Fatal error: insufficient power configured!
Sum of power values........: 0
Minimum value (MINSUPPLIES): 1
Edit your upsmon.conf and change the values.
upsmon.conf: invalid directive MONITOR UPS@xxxxxxxxx 1 master
Using power down flag file /etc/killpower
Here is a copy of my configuration files:
*** /etc/ups/ups.conf ***
[UPS]
driver = hidups
port = /dev/usb/hiddev2
*** End /etc/ups/ups.conf ***
*** upsmon.conf ***
It is the default file included. The only line I added was:
MONITOR UPS@xxxxxxxxx 1 master
*** End /etc/ups/upsmon.conf ***
Now, I'm probably doing something really dumb, or have my configuration
wrong. Anyone have some experience that might be able to point me in the
right direction? Thanks.
