Hello<br />

<p> Hello</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My server with another UPS (MGE Pulsar Evolution2200 USB) is OK.</p>
<p>All scripts work</p>
<p>Is it possible to work with a UPS MGE CometExtrem 6 on <span><span>serial port</span></span></p>
<div> </div>
<p>Which driver can I use ?</p>
<p>I tried with mge-shut ou mge-utalk without any success</p>
</blockquote>
<div><br />
as per NUT HCL, Comet Extreme use the UTalk protocol.<br />
so mge-utalk is the driver you're looking for.<br />
 </div>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote">
<p>when I start driver with upsdrvctl with mge-utalk</p>
<p>I have (after a long time)<br />
<br />
Can't connect to UPS [MGE_cometEX] (mge-utalk-MGE_cometEX): No such file or directory</p>
<p>or</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.4.3<br />
Network UPS Tools - MGE UPS SYSTEMS/U-Talk driver 0.89 (2.4.3)<br />
/dev/ttyS0 is locked by another process<br />
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)</p>
</blockquote>the above message shows that the mge-utalk driver can't start since there is another driver locking the port.<br />
so, first, stop everything, and issue a "killall mge-shut mge-utalk"<br />
then start NUT as usual.<br />
if something really goes wrong, stop everything and then try starting mge-utalk in debug mode, to see if there is actually a problem, using:<br />
$ /path/to/mge-utalk -DDD -a MGE_cometEX<br />
<br />
Let it run for 30 seconds, and send us the output.</div>
