想在Linux使用USB线连接到UPS然后提供给其他机器使用，打算使用APC的官方软件，但是无论如何都检测不到，翻了一堆资料才发现官方的应用不支持。
APC的软件PowerChute，不支持任何TypeB接口的设备在Linux下通过USB连接，Windows是可以的，折腾了好久，最后白费，老实用NUT工具获取数据了。相关资料如下:
| Type A UPS | Type B UPS |
|---|---|
| SMT | SU |
| SMX | SUA (including C500J) |
| SURTD | SURT |
| SRT | SURTA |
| SMTL | SC |
| SCL | SUM |
| SMC | |
| SRTL | |
| SRC models: SRC2KUXI SRC3KUXI SRC3KUXIX709 | Any SRC model, excluding those listed under Type A. |
The config.sh script will run automatically.
– Enter a username and password. See Username and Password Requirements.
– Select the UPS model. See Supported UPS Types.
– Select the cable type and port used to connect the computer running PowerChute to the UPS.
See UPS Communications Cable Requirements, Simple Signaling and Communications
Help – Troubleshooting Automatic and Manual UPS Detection.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) versions 6.3 and earlier do not support USB
communication with PowerChute v9.5+.
PowerChute v9.5+ does not provide USB communication to Type B UPS devices on
Linux machines.
– Once all requested configuration parameters are provided, the PowerChute Agent service
starts.
