BETA RELEASE DOCS>>>>>>> Beginning Project: Information by : "Ralf Gutensohn" <rgutenso@tap.de> >From the manual: Basic ports The funtionality of a Share-UPS Basic port is shown below. The following limitations and capabilities apply the the basic port interface: - pins 3, 5 and 6 are open collector outputs which must be pulled up to a common referenced supply no greater than +40Vdc. The transistors are capable of a maximun non-inductive oad of 25mAdc. Use only Pin 4 as the common. - The output at Pin 2 generate a Lo-to-HI RS232 level what the device is signaling On-Battery. The pin is normally at a LO RS-232 level. - The Share-Ups may be signaled to shutdown the UPS by applying a HI RS-232 level to Pin 1 for 4.5 seconds. Shutdown is also dependent on the UPS~s state and the Share-UPS~s shutdown mode. BASIC PORT DB-9S pinout 6 7 8 9 o o o o o o o o o 1 2 3 4 5 -------------- My translation of this part of the email message..... BASIC UPS I/O of BackUPS Dumb One needs to use APC cable #940-0020B or my CUSTOM cable. -------------- Do you can help us ???? You know anyone tried to use the ShareUPS with Linuxsystems ? Thanks for any help :) Regards Ralf Gutensohn rgutenso@tap.de /***************************************************************************/
