--nextPart18753867.H2cCFLJ0zp Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline Does anyone have a 110V MGE Pulsar connected to NUT via RS232? The reason I am asking is that we ship systems overseas (from Australia lan= d=20 of 230V) and typically have the customer purchase a UPS (or arrange for one= to=20 be delivered to the site) and I find that I can't communicate with them usi= ng=20 NUT. All of the MGE UPSs we have shipped from Australia work fine, and the hardw= are=20 and software is identical to 110V sites (Super micro C2SBA, FreeBSD 6.3). I have talked to the NUT maintainers but they are primarily Linux oriented = =20 and haven't yet cranked up a FreeBSD box to have a look at it. The symptoms are that it can talk to the UPS but there are frequent drops i= n=20 communication (very annoying as it fills the logs with crap), yet 230V unit= s=20 work flawlessly. I am not using USB because it was not reliable until very recently (and sti= ll=20 reconnects alarmingly often..) =2D-=20 Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C --nextPart18753867.H2cCFLJ0zp Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBJvu8/5ZPcIHs/zowRAnEiAJ9oYZnYWPKig3z3uN/ciLCJwGpq+gCeOGD1 DBro11T1TZkkVSscFHigYac= =kbq/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart18753867.H2cCFLJ0zp--
