User's Manual UPS control system

If you wish to install the package elsewhere, please note that you will need
to proceed with a manual installation, which is not particularly easy as you
must rebuild the source and change the configuration file as well.
This installation assumes that you do not have CYGWIN installed on your
computer. If you do, and you use mount points, you may need to do a
special manual installation.
Once you have unzipped the binaries, open a window pointing to the binary
installation folder (normally c:\apcupsd). This folder should contain folders
with the name bin, etc, examples, and manual. If and when you no longer
need them, the examples and manual sub-folders of the c:\apcupsd directory
may be removed.
Continuing the installation process:
• Open the directory c:\apcupsd\etc\apcupsd in the Windows Explorer
by Clicking on the apcupsd folder then on the etc folder, then on the
apcupsd folder. Finally double click on the file apcupsd.conf and edit
it to contain the values appropriate for your site. In most cases, no
changes will be needed, but if you are not using COM1 for your serial
port, you will need to set the DEVICE configuration directive to the
correct serial port. Note, if you are using WinNT or Win2000, the
operating system may probe the port attempting to attach a serial
mouse. This will cause apcupsd to be unable to communicate with
the serial port. If this happens, or out of precaution, you can edit the
c:\boot.ini file. Find the line that looks something like the following:
