UPS on Unraid Help

[znelbok]

Hi All

 

Back after a very long time - my old NAS is still kicking along on V5-beta12.  Anyway, I had a machine become spare so I am building it up as the replacement NAS.

 

I have a Small APC BackUPS Pro 420 to use with it and I am trying to get it working with Unraid.

 

I installed the windows version of APCUPSD and I have got it working there, so I know everything hardware wise is OK.

 

Based on the config file in windows, I set the UPS Setting the same.

 

In UNRAID

 

UPS Cable: Custom

Custom UPS cable: 940-0024C

UPS Type: APCsmart

Device: ttyUSB0

 

But Unraid is reporting Lost Communications.

 

My guess is that it is the Device that is wrong.  I have a FTDI compliant USB serial adapter and unraid is seeing it

USB Devices

 

Bus 003 Device 004 Port 3-2ID 0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 Serial (UART) IC

 

and from my limited linux knowledge I googled and ran at the terminal 

 

dmesg | grep tty

 

which returns this (unlugged a few time is my guess for the number of entries)

 

[    0.123130] printk: console [tty0] enabled
[260905.877734] usb 3-2: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0
[261910.361887] ftdi_sio ttyUSB0: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0
[262834.499886] usb 3-2: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0
[263189.612696] ftdi_sio ttyUSB0: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0
[264133.975681] usb 3-2: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0

 

So my assumptions is that the device is ttyUSB0

 

Can anyone assist with a linux noob and point me in teh right direction to get this working.

 

Thanks

 

Mick

 

PS - YEs, the status says the service is running as well

As usual, spend time not being successful and then ask a question and you then find teh answer 5 minutes later

 

To answer this for others, the Device should be /dev/ttyUSB0

 

Cheers
