BCMXCP(8)
=========
NAME
----
bcmxcp - Driver for UPSes supporting the serial BCM/XCP protocol
NOTE
----
This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the
bcmxcp driver. For information about the core driver, see
linkman:nutupsdrv[8].
SUPPORTED HARDWARE
------------------
This driver should recognize all serial BCM/XCP-compatible UPSes. It has
been developed and tested on Powerware PW5115 and PW9120 hardware. If your UPS
has a USB connection, you may also consult the linkman:bcmxcp_usb[8] driver
documentation.
EXTRA ARGUMENTS
---------------
This driver supports the following optional settings in the
linkman:ups.conf[5].
*shutdown_delay=*'delay'::
The number of seconds that the UPS should wait between receiving the
shutdown command (`upsdrvctl shutdown`) and actually shutting off.
*baud_rate=*'rate'::
Communication speed for the UPS. If this is set to 9600, it tries to connect
to the UPS at 9600bps. If it fails to communicate, it will go into baud-hunting.
It starts at 1200 and goes up to 19200. If it succeeds, it tell you the speed it
connected with. If not included in the config, it defaults to baud-hunting.
DEFAULT VALUES FOR THE EXTRA ARGUMENTS
--------------------------------------
- *shutdown_delay =* '120'
- *baud_rate =* 'none'
INSTANT COMMANDS
----------------
This driver supports the following Instant Commands:
*shutdown.return*::
Turn off the load and return when power is back.
*shutdown.stayoff*::
Turn off the load and remain off.
*test.battery.start*::
Start a battery test.
*outlet.n.shutdown.return*::
Turn off the load on outlet 'n' and return when power is back.
('n' is the outlet number reported by the upsc command)
