AceRimmer Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) Hey Raiders, I got 2 UPS's out of work. They are both identical models, PowerWalker VI 2000 SC - data sheet here I don't know much about UPS devices so in wondering if someone can advise what i am doing wrong. The devices have the following: Ethernet in Ethernet out USB port I've tried plugging in the USB (tried 2 different cables to eliminate a faulty cable scenario and tried several USB ports on my motherboard) and i set "type" & "cable" to "USB" but it I keep getting a lost communication error (see reference image below). I also tried plugging in the "Ethernet out" into a spare gigabit Ethernet port on my motherboard. I set the type to "Ether" and i tried all the "UPS type" options but none of them detected the device either. I also tried rebooting the server with the USB plugged in to see if its something that needs to be detected during boot but it made no difference. When i plug it into Windows it detects the device immediately and proceeds to install a USB to Serial driver. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
