trying to get my ups configure in the new truenas scale. The problem is that is connected to the server via a real serial port but the nut-scanner tool and the UI only seem to support usb/network devices. Are serial port connected devices no longer supported?
My ups’s both use Ethernet, but nut still does serial as far as I know. You didn’t specify which ups so you would need to seach and pick the driver ending in _ser that most closely matches the ups you have connected. Also, drivers with genericups are ones that use the generic nut serial driver.
Sorry, should have included that, its Tripp-lite SMART2200NET. But also even if I select one of the _ser options the only options in the drop down menu for the port is “/dev/uhid” and “auto”. I don’t see any of the various ttyS{x} ports as selectable options
Try entering /dev/ttyS2, or maybe S0, (ttyS1 is the serial port automatically selected for the console according to the config in Advanced Settings in my install).
Since it is the NET version, why aren’t you using the network interface?
Or is it used and someone stripped the network card from it?

It was used but this model never included an Ethernet interface, it only has 3 db9 serial connections plus a few contact closure outputs.
I’ll see if I manually type something into the port selection field later this evening after work but I don’t remember it allowing that.
My install does allow it.
Yep just tried it and was able to manually type it in. It wasn’t obvious that you could type into that window. Thanks for the help. Turns out its on /dev/ttyS0
Glad it worked out for you!
