.SH "NAME"
bcmxcp \- Driver for UPSes supporting the serial BCM/XCP protocol
.SH "NOTE"
.sp
This man page only documents the hardware\-specific features of the bcmxcp driver\&. For information about the core driver, see \fBnutupsdrv\fR(8)\&.
.SH "SUPPORTED HARDWARE"
.sp
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 \fBbcmxcp_usb\fR(8) driver documentation\&.
.SH "EXTRA ARGUMENTS"
.sp
This driver supports the following optional settings in the \fBups.conf\fR(5)\&.
.PP
\fBshutdown_delay=\fR\fIdelay\fR
.RS 4
The number of seconds that the UPS should wait between receiving the shutdown command (upsdrvctl shutdown) and actually shutting off\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBbaud_rate=\fR\fIrate\fR
.RS 4
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\&.

.RE
.SH "INSTANT COMMANDS"
.sp
This driver supports the following Instant Commands:
.PP
\fBshutdown\&.return\fR
.RS 4
Turn off the load and return when power is back\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBshutdown\&.stayoff\fR
.RS 4
Turn off the load and remain off\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBtest\&.battery\&.start\fR
.RS 4
Start a battery test\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBoutlet\&.n\&.shutdown\&.return\fR
.RS 4
Turn off the load on outlet
\fIn\fR
and return when power is back\&. (\fIn\fR
is the outlet number reported by the upsc command)
.RE
.SH "TODO LIST"
.PP
Report UPS statistics informations
.RS 4
BCM/XCP supports reporting of UPS statistics data\&.
.RE
.PP
Change settings
.RS 4
Access the config register to change settings\&.
.RE
.SH "BUGS"
.sp
None known\&.
