Hi all,
Does anyone know how to set up an APC Back_UPS XS 1500 battery backup? This APC ups works with a USB cable on the PC side connecting to an RJ-45 plug in the back of the ups. I'm using Suse 8.2. The apcupsd that comes with 8.2 does not seem to know how to handle the usb connection. Nor does the PowerChute I downloaded from APC, it only seems to work with serial. I tried installing rpm's from suse ftp for suse 9.0 and 9.1, but they have too many dependencies on 8.2.
Does anyone have an rpm for a newer version of apcupsd for suse 8.2?
A much better alternative would be APC's own PowerChute application, it's downloadable from their website. Anders
