TRIPPLITE_USB(8)
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
|
|
NAME
|
|
----
|
|
tripplite_usb - Driver for older Tripp Lite USB UPSes (not PDC HID)
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
*tripplite_usb* -h
|
|
|
|
*tripplite_usb* -a 'UPS_NAME' ['OPTIONS']
|
|
|
|
SUPPORTED HARDWARE
|
|
------------------
|
|
This driver should work with older Tripp Lite UPSes which are detected as USB
|
|
HID-class devices, but are not true HID Power-Device Class devices. So far,
|
|
the devices supported by tripplite_usb have product ID 0001, and the newer
|
|
units (such as those with "LCD" in the model name) with product ID 2001 require
|
|
the linkman:usbhid-ups[8] driver instead. Please report success or failure to
|
|
the nut-upsuser mailing list. A key piece of information is the protocol
|
|
number, returned in `ups.debug.0`. Also, be sure to turn on debugging ('-DDD')
|
|
for more informative log messages. If your Tripp Lite UPS uses a serial port,
|
|
you may wish to investigate the linkman:tripplite[8] or linkman:tripplite_su[8]
|
|
driver.
|
|
|
|
This driver has been tested with the following models:
|
|
|
|
* INTERNETOFFICE700
|
|
* OMNIVS1000
|
|
* OMNIVS1500XL (some warnings)
|
|
* SMART700USB
|
|
* SMART1500RM2U
|
|
* SMART2200RMXL2U
|
|
* SMART3000RM2U
|
|
|
|
If you have used Tripp Lite's PowerAlert software to connect to your UPS, there
|
|
is a good chance that 'tripplite_usb' will work if it uses one of the
|
|
following protocols:
|
|
|
|
* Protocol 0004
|
|
* Protocol 1001
|
|
* Protocol 2001
|
|
* Protocol 3003
|
|
|
|
On the other hand, if the web page for your UPS on the Tripp-Lite website says
|
|
"HID-compliant USB port also enables direct integration with built-in power
|
|
management and auto-shutdown features of Windows and MAC OS X", then you should
|
|
use the linkman:usbhid-ups[8] driver instead.
|
|
|
|
EXTRA ARGUMENTS
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
This driver supports the following optional settings in the linkman:ups.conf[5]
|
|
file (or with '-x' on the command line):
|
|
|
|
*offdelay*::
|
|
|
|
This setting controls the delay between receiving the "kill" command ('-k')
|
|
and actually cutting power to the computer.
|
|
|
|
*bus*::
|
|
|
|
This regular expression is used to match the USB bus (as seen in
|
|
`/proc/bus/usb/devices` or lsusb(8); including leading zeroes).
|
|
|
|
*product*::
|
|
|
|
A regular expression to match the product string for the UPS. This would be
|
|
useful if you have two different Tripp Lite UPS models connected to the
|
|
system, and you want to be sure that you shut them down in the correct order.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: This regex is matched against the full USB product string as seen in
|
|
lsusb(8). The `ups.model` in the linkman:upsc[1] output only lists the name after
|
|
`TRIPP LITE`, so to match a SMART2200RMXL2U, you could use the regex
|
|
`.*SMART2200.*`.
|
|
|
|
*productid*::
|
|
|
|
The productid is a regular expression which matches the UPS PID as four
|
|
hexadecimal digits. So far, the only devices that work with this driver have
|
|
PID `0001`.
|
|
|
|
*serial*::
|
|
|
|
It does not appear that these particular Tripp Lite UPSes use the `iSerial`
|
|
descriptor field to return a serial number. However, in case your unit does,
|
|
you may specify it here.
|
|
|
|
For more information on regular expressions, see regex(7)
|
|
|
|
RUNTIME VARIABLES
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
*ups.delay.shutdown*::
|
|
|
|
This variable is the same as the 'offdelay' setting, but it can be changed at
|
|
runtime by linkman:upsrw[8].
|
|
|
|
*ups.id*::
|
|
|
|
Some SMARTPRO models feature an ID that can be set and retrieved. If your UPS
|
|
supports this feature, this variable will be listed in the output of linkman:upsrw[8].
|
|
|
|
*outlet.1.switch*::
|
|
|
|
Some Tripp Lite units have a switchable outlet (usually outlet #1) which can be
|
|
turned on and off by writing '1' or '0', respectively, to `outlet.1.switch`
|
|
with linkman:upsrw[8].
|
|
If your unit has multiple switchable outlets, substitute the outlet number for
|
|
'1' in the variable name. Be sure to test this first - there is no other way to
|
|
be certain that the number used by the driver matches the label on the unit.
|
|
|
|
KNOWN ISSUES AND BUGS
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
The driver was not developed with any official documentation from Tripp Lite,
|
|
so certain events may confuse the driver. If you observe any strange behavior,
|
|
please re-run the driver with `-DDD` to increase the verbosity.
|
|
|
|
So far, the Tripp Lite UPSes do not seem to have a serial number or other
|
|
globally unique identifier accessible through USB. Thus, when monitoring
|
|
several Tripp Lite USB UPSes, you should use either the 'bus' or 'product'
|
|
configuration options to uniquely specify which UPS a given driver instance
|
|
should control.
|
|
|
|
For instance, you can easily monitor an OMNIVS1000 and a SMART1500RM2U at the
|
|
same time, since they have different USB Product ID strings. If you have two
|
|
SMART1500RM2U units, you would have to find which USB bus number each unit is
|
|
on (via lsusb(8)), which may result in ambiguities if the available USB ports
|
|
are on the same bus.
|
|
|
|
Some of the SMART*2U models have an ID number, but because this ID is not
|
|
exposed as a USB string descriptor, there is no easy way to use this ID to
|
|
distinguish between multiple UPS units on a single machine. The UPS would need
|
|
to be claimed by the driver in order to read this ID.
