APC UPS and COM ports

​ ​
​ I have found that my APC 1400 SmartUps is not communicating with either of the COM ports in my PE4400. If I leave it plugged into port 1 it thinks that the UPS is always on battery power no matter what the state of the power and vice-versa when plugged into COM port 2. ​
​ ​
​ ​
​ ​
​ PCBE setup the COM port by default using - ​
​ ​
​ LOAD AIOCOMX PORT=3F8 INT=4 #COM1 ​
​ ​
​ UPS_AIO ​
​ ​
​ ​
​ ​
​ How do I know if these are the correct settings? ​
​ ​

​Netware 6sp5 ​
​JVM 1.4.2 ​
​Power Chute Business Edition 7.02 ​
​ ​
​ APC SmartUps 1400 ​
​ ​
​ ​
​ ​
​ Thanks, ​

Hi,

Is it possible that you didn't select the correct APC SAI model?. I think that the pcbesetup shows by default the Back UPS model.

Regards.

I have an identical setup that has been functioning for 4 years or longer.
The pwrchute.nlm is v4.33 march 23, 199 "Powerchute Plus for Netware UPS Monitor.
My load is a little different though, it reads:
Load AIOCOMX INT=4 PORT=3F8 NOFIFO #COM1.
 
good Luck
