Judging by the 'overwhelming' response, it appears that there is no experience with this thing out there. I don't know if their software works under Linux. They advertise it would. But first I am going to bite the bullet and get their fancy serial cable. Then I put the UPS on the bench and have a look what comes out of that port. There ought to be a way to get this thing percolating with the software in SuSe 7. Thanks anyway for taking the time to reply. Heri <p>On Thu, 23 Nov 2000, you wrote:

Heribert Riesbeck 11/23/00 17:28 PM >>> To get info concerning the above referenced UPS from Tripplite turned out to be worse than pulling hens teeth. Therefore I turn to all the guru's out there for assistance. I would like to set up this UPS under SuSE 7 and I have installed but not configured the file 'powerstatus' (sp) in the /etc directory.

What I need to know to edit this script is the pin-out and corresponding functions of the DB9 connector. Also Tripplite would like to sell me a serial cable. But they would not tell me if it was a straight through or a null modem cable.

In light of the above, I would appreciate any specific information as to how to get this thing going.

Thank you for your time to reply.
