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\&.

This driver supports the following optional settings in the \fBups.conf\fR(5):
|

The factory default value is 30 (in percent), and can be settable depending on the exact model\&.

.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBoffdelay\fR=\fInum\fR
|
|
.RS 4
|

Set the timer before the UPS is turned off after the kill power command is sent (via the
|
|
\fB\-k\fR
|
|
switch)\&.
|
|
.sp
|
|
The default value is 20 (in seconds)\&.
|

.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBondelay\fR=\fInum\fR

Set the delay before the UPS is turned on, after the power returns\&.
|

\fBoldmac\fR

|

Older models, such as ES/ESV ones, might report repetitive "data stale" errors\&. This is due to the fact that these models don\(cqt 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\&.
