NOTE
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the
|
|
|
|
bcmxcp driver. For information about the core driver, see
|
|
|
|
linkman:nutupsdrv[8].

SUPPORTED HARDWARE
|
|
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
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 linkman:bcmxcp_usb[8] driver
|
|
|
|
documentation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
EXTRA ARGUMENTS
|
|
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
This driver supports the following optional settings in the
|
|
|
|
linkman:ups.conf[5].
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*shutdown_delay=*'delay'::
|
|
|
|
The number of seconds that the UPS should wait between receiving the
|
|
|
|
shutdown command (`upsdrvctl shutdown`) and actually shutting off.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*baud_rate=*'rate'::
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DEFAULT VALUES FOR THE EXTRA ARGUMENTS
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- *shutdown_delay =* '120'
|
|
|
|
- *baud_rate =* 'none'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
INSTANT COMMANDS
|

|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
