TerraMaster Forum

I've verified this device is on the supported list but also found that there's an issue with the usbhid-ups driver as I've had similar issues with a pfsense firewall running NUT.
There is a workaround for pfsense (FreeBSD) of running the following command usbconfig is not a recognized command by TOS, is there an updated or dev branch of usbhid-ups that you can get and integrate into a new update that has the issue patched out
Here's a link to an updated (dev) version of the driver https://forum.netgate.com/assets/upload ... hid-ups.gz

I too am having the same type of connection issues.

Just acquired the CP1500pfclcd and it doesn't remain connected.
It is on the approved list, the reason I ordered it.

What's the fix if anyone knows ????

what did you mean it doesn't remain connected?

The NAS only recognizes the UPS for a couple minutes after a reboot or the UPS's USB cable being disconnected and reconnected. Then the UPS information section under hardware and power reverts to UPS not connected.

After many hours of analyzing this problem I have a work-around till Terra Master fixes the issue.

Enjoy !!


Install Cron_Okm on the nas, make sure it is set for autostart

Next start a telnet session

now execute the following command
'crontab -e

in your favorite editor add the following line to Crontab

*/2 * * * * upsctl start &>/home/yoursusername/upsstatus.txt

Save it and you are done.
The way this works...

Every 2 minutes the system will execute "upsctl start" now since this is a background task
we add the following &>/home/yoursusername/upsstatus.txt to send all output to a status file you can manually verify that it is working
and avoid any errors with output to console from a script. Whenever you check the upsstatus file the time and dates should never be
more than 2 minutes old. If you have a mapped drive to this location, you can check the status from Windows.

This file is overwritten so it will not grow.


Conversely you can also use the following command to check it from a telnet session.

execute upscmd -l "uspname" from telnet session and you will see this.
