Hello, I recently had a failure with my old MGE ESV8 ups, it just died<br>on me so I had to get a new one. I found a MGE ESV8+ cheap and<br>everything seems to work fine with it except the communication with the<br>computer. The old ESV8 (non +) worked fine with NUT after applying some
<br>patches I got from the mailing list, but I think they are in the source<br>tree now. I'm using the same cable that worked with my old ups, as it's<br>the same protocol mge-utalk and same cable to the new ups.<br><br>I'm running FreeBSD
6.1 amd64 with NUT 2.0.3 installed from ports and my<br>problem is that I can't seem to get any data out of the UPS.<br><br>When starting upsd I get this:<br>Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.0.3<br>Network UPS Tools - MGE UPS SYSTEMS/U-Talk driver

<br clear="all">Also, have you tried the tip mentionned in mge-utalk manpage (section "KNOWN ISSUES")<br> Repetitive stale status ・苳� Loss of communication<br> Older models, such as ES/ESV ones, might report repetitive "data stale" errors. This is due to the
<br> fact that these models doesn't support too much polling. To solve this problem, add "pollinter・苳�<br> val=20" in ups.conf, and change the value of MAXAGE to 25 in upsd.conf, and DEADTIME to 25 in
