Thanks for the prompt reply!

If you look at the image file I attached, you will see that I have a USB to serial cable already. Is it the same as a null modem cable? (as my laptop doesn't have a serial out/vga out) I mean, I can attach the serial end of it to the B port on server and USB end to laptop, will that do? Or do I have to get a null modem cable anyway?

Also, for the past 10 hours having trouble with this USB to serial cable, not being picked up by my Windows 7 anymore (used to work fine!) so have ordered one more; and when that comes in will try to connect it to B port of server ( is that what you meant? coz I was connecting it to the DB25 port of the server before by using a DB25 to RJ45 adapter )

Many thanks.

NAME

       detectups - UPS detection/powerd configuration generator

SYNOPSIS

       /sbin/detectups [tty]

DESCRIPTION

       detectups monitors the serial port connected to an UPS device and will attempt to determine the method of UPS notification of power outage.
       It will ask you to remove the power cord from the wall to the UPS, or push the UPS's test button. It will then determine what all has  hap-
       pened and ask to generate a config file based on your UPS and cable configuration.  detectups needs to watch a tty with modem control prop-
       erties.	Please refer to the powerd documentation for further information.

ARGUMENTS

       Serial-Device Some serial port that is not being used by some other device, and does not share an interrupt with  any  other  serial  port.
       /etc/powerd.conf

FILES

       /etc/powerd.conf    powerd configuration file that		      detectups generates
       /etc/inittab	   init is what actually issues the			shutdown

SEE ALSO

       powerd(8), shutdown(8), wall(1), inittab(5).
