Minutemen UPS??

[Phantom]

I got a good price on a Minutemen Enspire 750VA. When I got home, I was disappointed to find they weren't on the support list. Has anyone tried this manufacture with freenas before? i have started testing the various drivers, but so far nothing is working. Am i totally out of luck? Or is there a way to get it to work?

Are they rebranded? Try emailing them maybe..

I don't think so. It seems like a newer company with their own line of products. The tech store I use for business just got a large shipment of them and was running a good deal on the lower end one, so I thought i would try it out. But none of the basic drivers for monitoring seem to be compatible. I haven't seen this before, and while i don't think its really a factor i thought id bring it up, but they use an odd USB adapter. It has the standard USB on one side, and seems to go into an RJ45 head but only uses pins 1-4. The box claimed it was plug and play with Windows, so i figured they just used a generic driver for the battery reporting.

I sent out a request awhile ago, just waiting to here back. The other thing I forgot to mention, is whenever I plug in the USB from the UPS, the terminal does read the information and lists the following information:
<Minuteman MINUTEMAN UPS, class 0/0, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 3> on usbus2

So i assume its reading everything correctly.
