SRV2KI Linux management

[dvergon]

Hello! I've just purchased a SRV2KI APC UPS and I've been trying to connect to it using Linux (apcupsd and nut) to no avail.

The UPS is not being recognised as such, but it does show up in the lsusb list as "Exar Corp. XR21V1410 USB-UART IC", and to my knowledge, that's a serial interface.

Is there an special driver for this particular UPS? A proprietary software maybe?

Hope you can help me, it has been a long week trying to connect to this UPS.

Thanks.

Hi @dvergon 

Thank you for reaching out to the SE Community, my name is Jon and I will assist you with this query.  Apologies for the late revert on this post.

I am not sure if you were able to resolve the issue, but just in case it is still pending I would like to let you know that we do not support your current configuration.  If you are going to use APCUPSd, it would be best to reach out to their support page - http://www.apcupsd.org/wordpress/email-lists/.

Did I just buy an APC UPS that can't be monitored from Linux? Come on people. Did anyone managed to make  this work with NUT at least?

I saw this in dmesg: 

[14500754.108517] xr_serial 1-1:1.0: xr_serial converter detected
[14500754.108975] usb 1-1: xr_serial converter now attached to ttyUSB0

And now my config for apcupsd looks like this:

UPSCABLE smart

UPSTYPE apcsmart
DEVICE /dev/ttyUSB0

Connection - OK
