Issues with APC UPS in V6

[Fodder]

Hi ho everyone,

 

after playing around with some VM's and randomly checking settings i notice that the UPS was not enabled.

So i enabled it, then started getting communication lost errors.

 

oh man, went back to the UPS settings page and sure enough its saying "communication lost"

i have an APC UPS ES-550G and when i remove the USB lead and reinsert it i get

Now this will have nothing to do with the VM's as they have been running etc, its just that what was what prompted me to be in teh main screen scheck etc.

 

the settings on the UPS pge are attached, but are pretty standard APC UPS.

 

Any idea where is should start?

Try changing where it says: UPS Type and you have APCSmart, see if you can change that to USB and see what happens.
