Evening:
I'm working on trying to get the APC Powerchute software to work on my
Linux box. The first thing I did was go in and check the BIOS settings
for my machine. I have COM 1 disabled, because I have an internal U.S.
Robotics Courier V.Everything installed. Com 2 is configured and has the
normal ioports associated with it (I believe this is 2F8 or something like
that). I also booted to a DOS disk, adn tried from the command line the
following 2 commands:
echo "AT" > com1
echo "AT" > com2
In both cases, I get the prompt back, which tells me that the machine is
recognizing both ports and is able to talk to them.
I then booted my machine into Linux, and downloaded and installed the
latest powerchute rpm from APC's site. It installed just fine, and I
followed the directions to run the configuration script. I am able to
answer everything in the installation, and when it asks where the UPS is
connected to, I select /dev/ttyS1 (COM2 I believe) because this is where
the cable is connected to on the computer.
When the script finishes, it keeps telling me that /dev/ttyS1 does not
appear to be a valid tty. What am I doing wrong? Where or what should I
be looking at to try and resolve this issue?
- Mike
