I thought I had the cable but it seems all the cables here are different
than
the one the config script calls out for. I am assuming they ARE different
or why would they have different ones for each unit. So... when I try to
run the install script it fails the communication test to ttyS0... I tried
ttyS1 also but no luck. Looks like I'll have to contact them by email. I
noticed that the 400 is not even listed in the products page... It must be
really old. :-/
:I think the last one is what you may just want, as it just shuts things

:Diagnostics and tell you if the battery is doing well.
I got the PowerChute Plus for UNIX which has been tested on RedHat 6.0
It's quite well done. The config script looks great... shame I can't get
hardware talking.
:I hope this helps, and if I can actually get any specs on this model I
:will let you know more.
Thanks... I'd like to see them, because there are no docs for the BK400
here.
Thanks for the help!
