.SH "NAME"
belkin \- Driver for Belkin serial UPS equipment
.SH "NOTE"
.sp
This man page only documents the hardware\-specific features of the belkin driver\&. For information about the core driver, see \fBnutupsdrv\fR(8)\&.
.SH "SUPPORTED HARDWARE"
.sp
The \fBbelkin\fR driver is known to support the Regulator Pro 525 (F6C525\-SER)\&. Other similar models such as the 425 and 625 should also work\&.
.sp
The Trust UPS and older Belkin units are not supported\&.
.SH "EXTRA ARGUMENTS"
.sp
This driver does not support any extra settings in the \fBups.conf\fR(5)\&.
.SH "BUGS"
.sp
There are dragons lurking within the protocol to this UPS\&. I have one that essentially behaves like a glorified power strip due to some invasive probing on my part\&. Don\(cqt mess with it directly\&.

the driver doesn\(cqt go anywhere near these character sequences, so it won\(cqt zap your UPS\&. I only mention this here as yet another reminder of the perils of closed hardware\&.
