UPS NUTS

[fehe...@gmail.com]

Hello,

I would like to connect a APC Back-UPS CS 350 to my DNS325. I connected the USB cable to the NAS (via a powered USB hub, because I have connected a 3rd HDD for torrents to this USB) and installed NUT in Packages/Alt-F menu. I configured NUT, but it can't find the UPS. I checked the devices with lsusb, but nothing appear. (neither the pendrive and the usb hdd despite they work perfectly) I checked the dmesg output, and I can see that the NAS recognizes my UPS, but something seems to be wrong.

Dmesg output: hid-generic 0003:051D:0002.0001: device has no listeners, quitting

I checked all ups related topics here, but I could not find solution.

Current firmware:

The box is currently running Alt-F 1.0 with kernel 4.4.86, and is flashed with "Alt-F-1.0, initrd" and kernel "Alt-F-1.0, kernel 4.4.86".

Do you have any recommendation?

Bálint

Hello!

Maybe you should try to install debian on ALT-F and then install NUT on it.

The reason your UPS isn't recognized is because USB_HIDDEV is not defined in the kernel config of the Alt-F builds. I ended up building the firmware myself with a modified config to get my APC UPS connected via USB. I posted about a year ago how I did this which included incorporating all the latest commits and other fixes. You can probably follow the Alt-F wiki and build the current 1.0 release with just the kernel change to make things easier.

Hello, thanks for reply.

I will not rebuild the firmware, beause I dont have the knowledge for that process. I really need a stable build because I store photos from the last 20 years.

If I unplug and plug the USB, I can connect to the UPS, so I hope that it is possible to find a solution without building new firmware.
