[Help]Smart UPS BK650-CH frequent communication failure with Buffal NAS LS-QVL

[seanyang2006]

Connecting the BK650-CH UPS with a NAS Buffalo LS-QVL which running on a Linux，,I met the following issue after running some hours( duration < 3 hours): 

   1.  Enalbe the "Synchronization with UPS" option on the admin WebUI;

   2.  "USB Connection Type" only has one option which is "USB Port（APC Style）"--So ,I guess this buffalo NAS should have passed a sort of certifcation with APC UPS as the screenshot:

   3.  Max 3 hours after "Synchroniztion with UPS" has been enalbed successfully, the NAS will enther a "fake-crash" state which means all the LEDs display correctly so I can say functionalities should be ok ,meanwhile I CAN PING the NAS successfully via PC, but I CAN NOT login to its WebUI and I can NOT power off the NAS by pressing power key--so I can't ensure the embeded functionalities is working correctly or not;

    4. The only thing  I can do is to remove the plug from the outlet at this time.

    5.  After the NAS has been re-powered on, I can check the kernel log as attached below;

   6. If I disable the "Synchronization with UPS" , the NAS can work correctly for at least 2 days( the lognest duration I tested )
