.SH "NAME"
powercom \- UPS driver for serial Powercom/Trust/Advice UPS equipment
.SH "NOTE"
.sp
This man page only documents the hardware\-specific features of the powercom driver\&. For information about the core driver, see \fBnutupsdrv\fR(8)\&.
.SH "SUPPORTED HARDWARE"
.sp
This driver supports many similar kinds of serial UPS hardware (as well as a few USB UPS models with USB\-to\-serial adapters)\&. The most common ones are the Trust 425/625, Powercom, and Advice Partner/King PR750\&. Others using the same protocol may also work\&. For USB connections, you might need \fBusbhid-ups\fR(8)\&.
.sp
For more specific guidance on which driver is applicable for a USB connection, see the NUT Hardware Compatibility List (HCL)\&.
.SH "EXTRA ARGUMENTS"
.sp
This driver supports the following optional settings in the \fBups.conf\fR(5) file:
.PP
\fBlinevoltage\fR=\fIvalue\fR
.RS 4
An integer specifying the line voltage\&. It can\(cqt be auto detected\&. Acceptable values are in the range of 110\-120 or 220\-240\&. The default is
\fI230\fR\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBmanufacturer\fR=\fIname\fR
.RS 4
Specify the manufacturer name, which also can\(cqt be auto detected\&. This is a user defined string, so any name is acceptable\&. The default is
\fIPowerCom\fR\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBmodelname\fR=\fIname\fR
.RS 4
Specify the model name, which also can\(cqt be auto detected\&. This is a user defined string, so any name is acceptable\&. The default is
\fIUnknown\fR\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBserialnumber\fR=\fIvalue\fR
.RS 4
Like modelname above, but for the serial number\&. The default is
\fIUnknown\fR\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBtype\fR=\fIname\fR
.RS 4
The exact type of the communication protocol within the powercom family, that will be used to communicate with the UPS\&. The type is named after the first modelname that was coded with that protocol\&. The acceptable names are
\fITrust\fR,
\fIEgys\fR,
\fIKP625AP\fR,
\fIIMP\fR,
\fIKIN\fR,
\fIBNT\fR, and
\fIBNT\-other\fR\&. The default is
\fITrust\fR\&.
.sp
\fIBNT\-other\fR
is a special type for other BNT models (such as the 1500A at 120V and can be used to override ALL models using ALL of the following values\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBshutdownArguments\fR={{\fIminutes\fR,\fIseconds\fR},\fIwhether_minutes_should_be_used\fR}
.RS 4
The minutes and seconds that the UPS should wait between receiving the shutdown command and actually shutting off\&. The other argument should be set to the character
\fIn\fR
only when the minutes value should be skipped and not sent to the UPS\&. The default is type\-dependent and is given below\&. The braces and commas are mandatory\&. Note that there should be no whitespace characters\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBnumOfBytesFromUPS\fR=\fIvalue\fR
.RS 4
The number of bytes in a UPS frame: 16 is common, 11 for
\fITrust\fR\&. The default is type\-dependent and is given below\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBmethodOfFlowControl\fR=\fIname\fR
.RS 4
The method of serial communication flow control that is engaged by the UPS\&. The default is type\-dependent and is given below\&. Acceptable names are
\fIdtr0rts1\fR,
\fIdtr1\fR
or
\fIno_flow_control\fR\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBvalidationSequence\fR={{\fIindex1\fR,\fIvalue1\fR},{\fIindex2\fR,\fIvalue2\fR},{\fIindex3\fR,\fIvalue3\fR}}
.RS 4
(Only for types KP625AP, Trust, Egys\&.) 3 pairs to be used for validating the UPS by comparing bytes of the raw data with constant values\&. The index selects the byte from the UPS (see numOfBytesFromUPS) and the value is for matching to the byte\&. The default is type\-dependent and is given below\&. The braces and commas are mandatory, as the lack of white space characters\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBfrequency\fR={\fIA\fR,\fIB\fR}
.RS 4
(Only for types KP625AP, Trust, Egys\&.) A pair to convert the raw frequency data to a human\-readable frequency reading using the function 1/(A*x+B)\&. If the raw value x IS the frequency, then set A=1/(x^2) and B=0\&. The default is type\-dependent and is given below\&. Do note that the braces and commas are mandatory as well, as the lack of whitespace characters\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBloadPercentage\fR={\fIBatteryA\fR,\fIBatteryB\fR,\fILineA\fR,\fILineB\fR}
.RS 4
(Only for types KP625AP, Trust, Egys\&.) A quad to convert the raw load data to human readable load percentage reading using the function A*x+B\&. If the raw value x IS the Load Percent, then set A=1 and B=0\&. The default is type\-dependent and is given below\&. Do note that the braces and commas are mandatory, as the lack of white space characters\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBbatteryPercentage\fR={\fIBattery1\fR,\fIBattery2\fR,\fIBattery3\fR,\fILine4\fR,\fILine5\fR}
.RS 4
(Only for KP625AP, Trust, Egys\&.) A 5 tuple to convert the raw battery and line data to a human\-readable battery and line percentage reading using the functions (Battery) A*x+B*y+C and (Line) D*x+E\&. If the raw value x IS the Battery Percent, then set A=1, B=0, C=0, D=1, E=0\&. The default is type\-dependent and is given below\&. Do note that the braces and commas are mandatory, as the lack of white space characters\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBvoltage\fR={\fI240A\fR,\fI240B\fR,\fI120A\fR,\fI120B\fR}
.RS 4
(Only for types KP625AP, Trust, Egys\&.) A quad that is used convert the raw voltage data to a human\-readable voltage reading using the function A*x+B\&. If the raw value x IS HALF the Voltage, then set A=2, B=0\&. The default is type\-dependent and is given below\&. Do note that the braces and commas are mandatory, as well as the lack of whitespace characters\&.
