Using hyperterminal to talk to a UPS
This is probably not windows ME related, since it should work with any
version of the OS, but since that's what I am running I thought I'd ask here I bought a Liebert PowerSure Personal XT uninterruptable power supply. Now this works fine in that if the power goes, the computer stays running. What I really want to use is the COM2 link to tell my computer to shut down, but it could never make the connection for some reason. Tried different cables, the latest software etc and still no joy. So I got myself a Belkin (same COM port, their cable) and this works fine. Tried both cables with the Belkin and it's fine. Obviously the Belkin and the computer are talking to each other, and someone has suggested setting up a hyperterminal session between the two. I can't even seem to see anything on the belkin even when the software is showing data. Is there any way I can talk to the UPS from the computer so I can establish if the Liebert is working as it should be please Cheers -- Mike Please post replies to newsgroup to benefit others Replace dead spam with ntl world to reply by email |
