Found the place to give the input for the UPS in the sytem editor and gave the information about the UPS in.
Which version of SuSE?
Version 8.1, next week 8.2 I hope.
As the UPS is totaly unknown and made localy I have to try out the right setup.
Do you at least have a basic schematic? I will assume it is only a contact closure type, but you need to know which signals Lo Bat and which is shutdown, and which is Online/OK.
No scheme, nothing useful.
I had at least some kind of a response with genericups upstype 4.
Response is good, but since it was unsuccessful, it still may not have been correct. If you get them wrong, it could cause you much grief (i.e. shutting down immediately, as soon as NUT is started, etc.).
When I disconnected the UPS cable I ran into trouble. So that is the UPS type I want to start.
Are you sure that one has the correct pinouts for the above signals?
Hope so, try and error
It is said in the man pages of NUT that you have to watch the syslog. Fine, when, where and how.
console/xterm, with tail -f /var/log/messages.
How do I monitor the the UPS.
If it is a contact closure type, there isn't much to monitor. It is either Online or on Bat.
The UPS is not connected to my computer and I have a strong user connected for the tests when I disconnect the power. But first I have to know if NUT works at all.
I really didn't understand that one. Your data cable HAS to be connected to your computer to test, but for testing purposes do NOT plug your computer into the UPS (i.e power plug). Hope this gets you farther.
Right so. Computer is not connected to the UPS. On the UPS I have a tv set so I can check if after a certain time of use the right signal comes in.
