[Apcupsd-users] PCNET Issue

[Kyle Johanson]

I am having an issue getting an SMT1500 UPS with a AP9630 network management card to work correctly. I am not a Linux expert by any means but did manage to download the tarball, complied it and added the configure option of -enable-pcnet successfully.

Ubuntu 14.04
APCUPSD Version - 3.14.14

What happens is when I run apctest is errors out and I am not sure exactly why. I did set the username from the selection of apc or device to apc in the shutdown menu and set a password longer than 15 characters

I can ping the UPS from the Ubuntu machine successfully.

The firmware on the APC AP9630 has been updated to the latest version.

I also wanted to add that I looked for an answer to my issue and found someone with a very similar issue but it wasn't clear as to how it was solved. The person stated that they added a powerchute client and his issue was solved without any detail. I looked at the powerchute web interface setup of the PC9630 card I have with an SMT-1500 but my confusion is what IP do you use the UPS or the server that is trying to be shut down? In addition I have two outlet groups how do I control each group individually, I am guessing each client should be the server IP that I am trying to shut down??

Generally you can’t run apctest while apcupsd is running, stop the daemon, run apctest, and then restart the daemon.

You should be able to run apcaccess in order to get current stats while the daemon is running
