Device Nodes

Apcupsd communicates with the UPS through the USB generic device, ugen. You may or may not need

to manually make ugen device nodes in /dev, depending on what OS you are using.

FreeBSD

No manual intervention needed. FreeBSD automatically creates the ugen nodes on demand.

NetBSD

By default, NetBSD only creates nodes for the first ugen device, ugen0. Check usbdevs -d to see

which device your UPS was bound to and then create the appropriate node by running 'cd /dev ;

./MAKEDEV ugenN', where ugenN is the ugen device name shown by usbdevs. It is probably a

good idea to create several sets of ugen nodes in case you add more USB devices.

OpenBSD

Similar to NetBSD, OpenBSD creates nodes for ugen0 and ugen1. Check usbdevs -d to see

which device your UPS was bound to and then create the appropriate node by running 'cd /dev ;

./MAKEDEV ugenN', where ugenN is the ugen device name shown by usbdevs. It is probably a

good idea to create several sets of ugen nodes in case you add more USB devices.

Windows USB Configuration

Platforms and Versions

Apcupsd supports USB UPSes on Windows XP and newer, including 64 bit systems.

USB Driver Installation

USB connected UPSes on Windows require a special driver. In most cases, this driver is automatically

installed when you install Apcupsd. However in some cases you may need to install the driver manually.

For detailed instructions, please see the install.txt file located in the driver folder of your Apcupsd

install.

Verifying Device Detection and Driver

After installing Apcupsd (and the Apcupsd USB driver, if necessary), plug in your UPS USB cable and

open the Windows Device Manager. You should see a American Power Conversion USB UPS

(Apcupsd) listed under the Batteries section. If a device of that name does not appear, check that

your UPS is powered on and that the USB cable is connected at both ends. Reinstall the driver as

directed above if needed.

Solaris USB Configuration

Platforms and Versions

Apcupsd supports USB UPSes on Solaris 10 and higher. Both x86 and SPARC platforms are supported.

Building Apcupsd with USB

Some specific packages are necessary when building Apcupsd with USB support on Solaris. You must

install the SUNWlibusb and SUNWlibusbugen packages BEFORE attempting to build Apcupsd. These

packages can be found on the Solaris installation CDROMs and should be installed with the pkgadd

utility.
