upscode2 \- Driver for UPScode II compatible UPS equipment
.SH"NOTE"
.sp
This man page only documents the hardware\-specific features of the upscode2 driver\&. For information about the core driver, see \fBnutupsdrv\fR(8)\&.
.SH"SUPPORTED HARDWARE"
.sp
This driver supports UPS equipment which can be controlled via the UPScode II protocol\&. This is mainly Fiskars, Powerware equipment, but also some (probably OEM\(cqed) products from Compaq\&.
.SH"EXTRA ARGUMENTS"
.sp
This driver supports the following optional settings in the \fBups.conf\fR(5):
.PP
\fBmanufacturer\fR=\fIvalue\fR
.RS4
Autodetection of this parameter is not possible yet (and it probably never will be)\&. Therefore, this user\-defined string accepts any name\&. The default is
\fIunknown\fR\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBinput_timeout\fR=\fIvalue\fR
.RS4
The timeout waiting for a response from the UPS\&. Some UPS models have shown to be rather slow, resulting in frequent messages about empty responses from the UPS\&. If you see this, try increasing this value\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBoutput_pace\fR=\fIvalue\fR
.RS4
Delay between characters sent to the UPS\&. This was added for completeness with the above parameter\&. It has not shown to be needed yet\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBbaudrate\fR=\fIvalue\fR
.RS4
The default baudrate is 1200, which is the standard for the UPScode II protocol\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBfull_update_timer\fR=\fIvalue\fR
.RS4
Number of seconds between collection of normative values\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBuse_crlf\fR
.RS4
Flag to set if commands towards to UPS need to be terminated with CR\-LF, and not just CR\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBuse_pre_lf\fR
.RS4
Flag to set if commands towards to UPS need to be introduced with an LF\&. A Compaq T1500h is known to need this\&.
The driver supports the following commands for those UPSes that support them\&. The available commands are autodetected during initialization, so you should check availability with \fIupscmd \-l\fR\&.
shutdown\&.return \- Shut down in 1 second and wait for power to return

.SH"NOTES"
.sp
The Powerware UPS models that this driver has been tested against until now have not returned a value for \fIbattery\&.charge\fR\&. Therefore, the driver will guestimate a value based on the nominal battery min/max and the current battery voltage\&.
