 |
|
Hello,
I am trying to get my Belkin F6H650-SER UPS to work with NUT. I am currently following the install guide on the NUT website. Looking at their supported hardware page, I see that my model is fully supported under their 'stable' branch.
This specific model of UPS uses a USB connection, instead of the more traditional serial route.
My /etc/nut/ups.conf file:
| Code: | [zeus]
driver = genericups
upstype = 7
port = /dev/usb/hiddev0
desc = "Belkin"
|
As I said earlier, I am following this guide since I am using NUT 2.0.0, and am stuck on "Step 8".
When I run the command: /sbin/upsdrvctl start I get the following output:
| Code: | Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.0.0
Network UPS Tools - Generic UPS driver 1.30 (2.0.0)
UPS type: CyberPower Power99
ioctl TIOCMSET: Invalid argument
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)
|
This tells me that there's something wrong with it connecting to my USB port. Am I wrong about this?
Running lsusb provides the following output:
| Code: | Bus 003 Device 002: ID 050d:0950 Belkin Components
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
|
..And the only thing I have in "/dev" is: /dev/usb/hiddev0
So, can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? |

What happens when you use the gentoo script?
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/upsdrv start |

I had something very strange today.
My computer didn't shutdown my ups.
I searched a lot why, and I saw that halt.sh gentoo script do :
| Code: | ups_kill_power() {
if [ -x /sbin/upsdrvctl ]
then
ewarn "Signalling ups driver(s) to kill the load!"
/sbin/upsdrvctl shutdown
ewarn "Halt system and wait for the UPS to kill our power"
/sbin/halt -id
while [ 1 ]; do sleep 60; done
fi
}
|
and www-apps/nut put it in /usr/sbin/upsdrvctl, so, it can't be found by halt.
Is it a nut package default ?
Sorry for my english. |

You can't use the genericups driver on an USB interface. You need the hidups driver. |

I'm wondering if you had any luck setting this up? I just got the Belkin Battery Backup with Surge Protection F6C550-AVR, which looks like its not really supported under NUT, but using the hidups driver I get the following:
| Code: |
battery.charge: 100
battery.runtime: 120
driver.name: hidups
driver.parameter.port: /dev/usb/hiddev0
driver.version: 2.0.0
ups.mfr: Unknown
ups.model: Unknown
ups.serial: Unknown
ups.status: OL
|
and this is my ups.conf:
| Code: |
[belkin]
driver = hidups
port = /dev/usb/hiddev0
desc = "Belkin UPS"
|
It uses a USB interface as well, so using the "genericups" didn't work here, but this does n't really give me any meaningful information besides the OL/OB...
did anyone have any success with a Belkin USB UPS?
Edit: I just wanted to say that on their drivers CD, they have a driver for Linux...looks like a statically linked upsd with a few more binaries and scripts, I didn't use them cause I'm paranoid I guess  but if someone wants to host them, let me know. |
