Connection errors with UPS

Post by Gunthor »

Today I started to use my new UPS PowerWalker VI 1000RT LCD. So far it only powers my Asustor NAS and a windows 7 (64bit) client machine. It nearly works as expected: NAS (connected to UPS via USB cable) as master and Windows client as slave (using WinNUT). Simulated power shortage first shuts down the slave and later on the NAS at its predefined times. :)

However, what still bothers me are the error notifications when powering up the windows client. Here is the log:

Code: Select all

Within the WinNUT configuration file I tried with the users admin, root and another user with administration privileges (of course with the correct password which I do not disclose here):

Code: Select all

MONITOR asustor@192.168.2.111 1 admin password slave
Any ideas what I am missing?
And just to be complete - I don't think this has anything to do with the issue - within ADM the UPS is not getting recognized correctly even though according to the compatibility list it is considered compatible:

My "Thank you" goes to Edric Lu from Asustor. With a special predefined user and password my UPS is now able to log on correctly. No Errors any longer! The wrong manufacturers name is due to limited Information my UPS supplies to the NAS. However, the powerbar issue got fixed and will be deployed with the next ADM release.
