SUPPORTED HARDWARE
|
|
|
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mge-utalk supports the following legacy units, using the MGE UTalk protocol:
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
* Pulsar ESV+
|
|
|
|
|
* Pulsar ES+
|
|
|
|
|
* Pulsar EL
|
|
|
|
|
* Pulsar EX
|
|
|
|
|
* Pulsar EXtreme
|
|
|
|
|
* Comet EXtreme
|
|
|
|
|
* Comet (Utalk Serial Card, ref 66060)
|
|
|
|
|
* Galaxy (Utalk Serial Card, ref 66060)
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This driver also support some newer models with backward UTalk compatibility,
|
|
|
|
|
such as Pulsar Evolution and Pulsar EXtreme C. As these models also support
|
|
|
|
|
the SHUT protocol, prefer mge-shut for serial communication, or use the USB
|
|
|
|
|
port, if available, with the usbhid-ups driver.

EXTRA ARGUMENTS
|
|
|
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This driver supports the following optional settings in the linkman:ups.conf[5]:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*lowbatt*='num'::
|
|
|
|
|
Set the low battery warning threshold at which shutdown is initiated by
|
|
|
|
|
linkman:upsmon[8].
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
The factory default value is 30 (in percent), and can be settable depending on
|
|
|
|
|
the exact model.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*offdelay*='num'::
|
|
|
|
|
Set the timer before the UPS is turned off after the kill power command is
|
|
|
|
|
sent (via the *-k* switch).
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
The default value is 20 (in seconds).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*ondelay*='num'::
|
|
|
|
|
Set the delay before the UPS is turned on, after the power returns.
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
The default value is 1 (in minutes).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*oldmac*::
|
|
|
|
|
Set this flag if you are running Linux on an Oldworld Macintosh box
|
|
|
|
|
(all beige Apple Macintosh). This might also be needed for other
|
|
|
|
|
OSs (like *BSD) running on PowerMac.

KNOWN ISSUES
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Repetitive timeout and staleness
|
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Older models, such as ES/ESV ones, might report repetitive "data stale" errors.
|
|
|
|
|
This is due to the fact that these models don't support too much polling.
|
|
|
|
|
To solve this problem, add "pollinterval=20" in ups.conf, and change the value
|
|
|
|
|
of MAXAGE to 25 in upsd.conf, and DEADTIME to 25 in upsmon.conf.
