Older models, such as SNMP card (Ref 66062 and Ref 66045), use the SNMP protocol and should use the \fBsnmp-ups\fR(8) driver with the "mibs=mge" parameter\&.
|

.SH "EXTRA ARGUMENTS"

|
.sp
|

This driver supports the following optional settings in the \fBups.conf\fR(5):
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
\fBtimeout\fR=\fIvalue\fR
|
||
|
|
.RS 4
|
||
|
|
The timeout for connecting to and reading from the UPS\&. Defaults to 5 seconds\&. Don\(cqt change this value unless you know exactly what you\(cqre doing\&.
|
||
|
|
.RE
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
This value \fBmust never\fR be higher than half the MAXAGE value specified in \fBupsd.conf\fR(5), otherwise you run the risk that \fBupsd\fR(8) declares the driver stale while it is waiting for a connection to timeout\&.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
\fBlogin\fR=\fIvalue\fR
|
||
|
|
.RS 4
|
||
|
|
Set the login value for authenticated mode\&. This feature also needs the
|
||
|
|
\fBpassword\fR
|
||
|
|
argument, and allows value settings in the card\&. This feature is not used yet\&.
|
||
|
|
.RE

|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
\fBpassword\fR=\fIvalue\fR

|
|
Set the password value, needed with the login for authenticated mode\&. This feature is not used yet\&.

|

The hostname of the UPS is specified with the "port" value in \fBups\&.conf\fR, i\&.e\&.:
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
.if n \{\
|
||
|
|
.RS 4
|
||
|
|
.\}
|
||
|
|
.nf
|
||
|
|
[mgexml]
|
||
|
|
driver = netxml\-ups
|
||
|
|
port = http://netxml\-ups\&.example\&.com:80
|
||
|
|
.fi
|
||
|
|
.if n \{\
|
||
|
|
.RE
|
||
|
|
.\}
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
Specifying the method to connect to the UPS (http, https) is mandatory\&. If the port is equal to the default for the method specified (80 for http, 443 for https) it may be omitted\&.
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
In order not to overload older NMCs by polling them too frequently, it is recommended to increase the "pollinterval" (see \fBnutupsdrv\fR(8)) and \fBups.conf\fR(5)) to at least 5 seconds\&.
|
||
|
|
.SH "KNOWN ISSUES"
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
Don\(cqt connect to the UPS through a proxy\&. Although it would be trivial to add support for proxies, this is not recommended and don\(cqt ask for it\&. Not only because it will prevent the driver to make a persistent connection to the UPS, but also it adds an additional failure mode\&. If the proxy goes down (for whatever reason), the driver will no longer be able to reach the UPS\&.
