OK. I finally bit the bullet and did a shutdown. I *had* over 30 days |
30 |
of uptime too. Grrrrr !! |
31 |
|
32 |
Anyway, when I connected it to the serial port, it would rather rudely |
33 |
cut off my puter after a couple minutes. Click, off. So, I hooked up |
34 |
the USB cable so that I could get back to going again. I'm going to |
35 |
have to google on how to get this to work with the serial cable. I |
36 |
found the settings for USB but nothing for this driver and a serial |
37 |
connection. |
38 |

This is the info I get from the UPS with a USB connection for those |
40 |
interested. |

I got to make some changes tho. When it cut me off, it did NOT do a |
85 |
clean shutdown. It just cut off. That ain't going to work for me. o_O |
