I haven't connected the UPS yet so I'm still using my old UPS and nut |
| 14 |
software. It has a Linux version on the CD but no mention of Gentoo, |
| 15 |
just rpm and deb. I tried to install this once before and I never got |
| 16 |
the software to work right. I think it was the init scripts that caused |
| 17 |
trouble. |

I looked at the nut website and it says the new UPS uses usbhid-ups |
| 20 |
which appears to need to be connected to the UPS by USB. I'll try the |
| 21 |
serial cable first, see what if anything it reports, then try USB and |
| 22 |
see if it reports the same thing. The old UPS uses powerpanel drivers |
| 23 |
within nut. That is sort of confusing since they call the Linux drivers |
| 24 |
the same as the windows software. |

Looks like I'm going to have to test this to see if it works or not. If |
| 27 |
it does, may need to report it to the people on the nut website. I |
| 28 |
would prefer serial if it works the same myself. |
