27 Jan 2007 21:46:06 UPS not responding. Check cable, comm port or UPS power on.
And i have checked the cable to make sure it is in com1 and into back of unit, And no I don't have another cable from opti to try, I do have a couple for other apc units but does any one have xref from apc to opti cables?
so i don't know if cable, I do know the com port (on the computer) does really work, and the ups power is on.
i guess either cable bad, or com port on UPS is flawed?
any one know if i can check cable with continuity tester ... but what are the pin in to pin outs on other end ... or is there resistors etc in the cable and i can not do such a test??
thanks
