more detailed information to Configure an USB-UPS [SOLVED]

[MartinR]

Hi,
I have to connect an ups to an agent machine.
With serial attached ups it works fine.
I need more detailed information for USB-attached ups.

http://wiki.netxms.org/wiki/Uninterruptible_Power_Supply_(UPS)_Monitoring
says I need a line like following:

Device = 0:<UPS serial number>:USB

What exactly is meant with <UPS serial number>?
Thank you for your help
Best Regards

Hi!

If you have multiple UPSes connected to single machine, the only way for agent to distinguish them is by using UPS serial number. It is the serial number written on UPS. But if you have only one USB UPS, you can simple use word ANY instead of actual serial number - agent will pickup first available UPS.

Best regards,
Victor

Hi,
many thanks for this hint. The line

Device = 0:ANY:USB

connects successfully to the APC Back-UPS CS650.
I recommend an output in a higher Debuglevel, which serial number the agent detects in this case. I tried different numbers but with any number instead of ANY the connection fails.
Nevertheless, my problem is solved, now.
Thank you for your help
