UPS Help needed

[Flying Mushroom]

I have been given a very handy UPS and need help/advice....

Does anyone have any info or knowledge of the MERLIN-GERIN Pulsar ES7 ups?

I'd be very grateful for any Windows XP drivers for this as I'd like to connect it and set it up to automatically shutdown windows in the event of a power cut.

What sort of control cable is needed to connect it to the computer (I don't mean the power supply cable ;) )

Any help would be most gratefully recieved.

Thanks in advance

THey don't seem to have technical documents on their site, it has little real contnet, mostly translated vision statements I think! Maybe the French version is better.

You will a 9-pin cable to connect the UPS to a com port on your machine, if you have no comm port you get get com - usb convertors to allow the connection.

Connect it all up, and see what the hardware detection wizard says - if it will not auto detect then it's off to the web site for drivers I'm afraid
