DSM 5.2-5592 Update 4 & Serial APC UPS

[dimis7]

Hello everyone.

 

Just upgraded from DSM 5.1-5022 to DSM 5.2-5592 Update 4.

 

I have an old APC UPS with no usb port... But since my mobo have serial port, i have connect it that way.

 

On the previous version this worked fine. However with the new version of DSM the UPS is not detected any more.

 

In order to work this setup on the previous version i have make a change to /usr/syno/etc/ups/ups.conf:

 

[ups]
        driver = apcsmart
        port = /dev/ttyS2
       #community = name
       #snmp_version = v2c
       #mibs = auto
       #secName = Synology
       #secLevel = noAuthNoPriv
       #authProtocol = MD5
       #authPassword = 111111111111
       #privProtocol = DES
       #privPassword = 222222222222

 

I make the same change to the new ver but when i run the command "upsdrvctl start" i get:

 

Diskstation> upsdrvctl stop
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller SDS5-2-2015Q1branch-5579-150611
Diskstation> upsdrvctl start
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller SDS5-2-2015Q1branch-5579-150611
Network UPS Tools - APC Smart protocol driver 3.1 (SDS5-2-2015Q1branch-5579-150611)
APC command table version 3.1
[d] unrecognized
Diskstation>

 

You can see from the following image that the ups responds to the server correctly:

 

 

Since I'm not familiar with linux terminal i need some help to troubleshoot this problem...

Thanks!

Dear GavinChen,

 

can you please explain exactly the steps you've done to run serial APC-USV?

 

I've followed the steps like your's, but the USV wasn't recognized.

 

Thanks in advance.

My APC Model is Smart-UPS 700 with Serial Cable.

Please sure your step 1. What are your RS-232 port with connect APC UPS?
