The Richcomm dry-contact to USB solution is a generic interface that is
|
|
|
|
|
used to upgrade an existing (RS-232) contact closure UPS interface to USB.
|
|
|
|
|
As such, all the limitations of the underlying contact closure interface
|
|
|
|
|
apply. This means that you will only get the essentials in ups.status: OL,
|
|
|
|
|
OB, and LB. See also linkman:genericups[8].

Most contact-closure UPSes will not power down the load if the line power
|
|
|
|
|
is present. This can create a race when using secondary linkman:upsmon[8]
|
2011-01-26 09:35:08 +00:00
|
|
|
systems. See the linkman:upsmon[8] man page for more information.

|
|
|
The solution to both of these problems is to upgrade to a smart protocol
|
2011-01-26 09:35:08 +00:00
|
|
|
UPS of some kind that allows detection and proper load cycling on command.
