4/8/2013 1:06 PM (in response to Stefan) You can try a USB to serial adapter. I have only tried it for configuration cables for logging in and managing it so I imagine it would work properly for native OS support. I am not sure of Mac compatibility though - I personally use this one: - I believe some APC units use this- but the last person I spoke to had trouble installing the required drivers on Mac OS X. (see this thread: ) But - I have a question - can you verify that this is a SURT1000 and not SURT10000? Just wanted to double check as SURT10000 comes with a network management card and then you wouldn't want to use the DB-9 at the same time necessarily. 4/8/2013 2:12 PM (in response to Angela) Thanks Angela, it's definitely a SURT1000 that did not come with an NMC.
I'll probably first try my Keyspan USA-19HS and the serial cable that came with the UPS but after reading the thread you suggested I'm pretty sure it's not going to work with a generic USB to serial adapter. I guess the USB device needs to have the right USB vendor and product ID for it to be recognized by the system as UPS. OS X 10.7 does not require the installation of any drivers to recognize a USB attached APC UPS. Here is what my OS X 10.7 system with USB attached Smart-UPS 2200 XL says: $ systemprofiler SPUSBDataType.
USB Bus: Host Controller Location: Built-in USB Host Controller Driver: AppleUSBUHCI PCI Device ID: 0x7fff00003a35 PCI Revision ID: 0x7fff00000000 PCI Vendor ID: 0x7fff00008086 Bus Number: 0x3d Smart-UPS 2200 XL FW:690.19.D USB FW:7.4: Product ID: 0x0002 Vendor ID: 0x051d (American Power Conversion) Version: 0.06 Speed: Up to 1.5 Mb/sec Manufacturer: American Power Conversion Location ID: 0x3d100000 / 2 Current Available (mA): 500 Current Required (mA): 30 A generic USB to serial adapter will only be recognized as USB serial controller from whatever vendor and not as an APC UPS. I thought I'd buy an AP9833 after reading thinking the AP9833 would identify itself as UPS to the Mac but was discouraged by the thread you provided;-) Might end up buying a network management card and install PowerChute Network Shutdown. Note on Prolific USB to serial adapters: I ran into problems with the current Prolific driver (PL23031.4.0). When unplugging the adapter while connected to a serial console my OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion system crashed with a kernel panic - reproduce able. No surprise considering that the web page says it's good for 10.8 Mountain Lion but the release notes within the package only qualify it for 10.7 Lion.
Usb To Serial Mac
There might be OEM drivers that are more suitable and stable. 2:59 PM (in response to Stefan) Would it be possible for you or anyone else to provide me with the apcupsd.conf file which has the proper entries to make it work? I've tried many, and although if I run the PowerChute software in a VM, the VM sees the USB to Serial converter and my APC Smart-UPS 1400XL and it works there (in a virtual machine), I cannot get it to work in OS X (running 10.10 Yosemite & apcupsd release 3.14.12 (Mar 29 2014). I have the line UPSCABLE smart but am unsure as to what UPSTYPE should be. Appreciate it. 6:46 PM (in response to Bill) No I do not, I have SIIG Serial to USB adaptor which works as intended JU-CB1S12-S3 ( I tried UPSTYPE = apcsmart and DEVICE =comX Where X = the port number assigned to the converter However, I'm not sure on what to use for the port on a Mac OS X, hence looking for an example via an existing config file I know I can buy the AP9617 NMC, but I much rather would try this 1st. On another note, one might think that APC would begin to support the OS to a higher degree at this point in time.
If I used the network management card, does APC supply software to interface with it or is it all still terminal commands, etc? Thanks for all the help so far. 7:20 PM (in response to Guru) guruuno, in OS X's terminal, enter: ls /dev/cu. You should see a list of serial devices attached to your computer. Then put the path to one of them into the DEVICE line, for instance, DEVICE=/dev/cu.Serial-converter As for the AP9617, you would still use apcupsd with all the command line goodness, but the advantage is that it would be connected over the network so the UPS can be configured with your web browser and you wouldn't need a serial cable, just the IP of the AP9617. Be sure that your hub is on UPS power if you take this route.
