NAME

|
|
|
optiups - Driver for Opti-UPS (Viewsonic) UPS and Zinto D (ONLINE-USV) equipment
|
|
|
|
NOTE
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the
|
|
optiups driver. For information about the core driver, see
|
|
linkman:nutupsdrv[8].
|
|
|
|
SUPPORTED HARDWARE
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
*optiups* was originally written against a PowerES 280es in nut-0.45. It was
|
|
revised for nut-2.0.1 and tested against a PowerES 420E. It is expected to
|
|
work with at least the PowerES, PowerPS, and PowerVS models.
|
|
|
|
This driver additionally supports a Zinto D from ONLINE USV-Systeme AG
|
|
because of their very similar commands, but it is unknown if it also works
|
|
with other UPS from them.
|
|
|
|
This driver will not work with the PowerES stock serial cable. You will need
|
|
to construct your own three conductor cable:
|
|
|
|
UPS 6 -> PC 3
|
|
UPS 9 -> PC 2
|
|
UPS 4 -> PC 5
|
|
|
|
The cable for Online-USV uses pin UPS 7 (not UPS 4) -> PC 5.
|
|
|
|
EXTRA ARGUMENTS
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
This driver supports the following optional settings in the
|
|
linkman:ups.conf[5] file:
|
|
|
|
*status_only*::
|
|
|
|
Only poll for critical status information. Without this, *optiups* (and
|
|
all NUT drivers) poll all sorts of information from the UPS fairly often.
|
|
It is probably not often enough to hurt anything, so this option probably
|
|
is not very useful, unless you have a flaky serial connection or a highly
|
|
loaded machine.
|
|
|
|
*nowarn_noimp*::
|
|
|
|
Does not print warnings when the UPS reports that a variable is not
|
|
implemented or not pollable. Without the option you will get a message
|
|
sent to your system logs each time NUT polls the UPS. If you specify
|
|
*nowarn_noimp*, this message will only be logged once.
|
|
|
|
*fake_lowbatt*::
|
|
|
|
This forces the low battery flag true. Without it, if you want to test your
|
|
UPS, you will have to unplug it and wait until the battery drops to a low/critical
|
|
voltage level before NUT will respond and power down your system. With the flag,
|
|
NUT should power down the system soon after you pull the plug. When you are done
|
|
testing, you should remove this flag.
|
|
+
|
|
For basic shutdown configuration testing, the command 'upsmon -c fsd' is preferred.
|
|
|
|
*powerup*::
|
|
|
|
Zinto D from ONLINE-USV cannot be identified when switched to standby.
|
|
Set this flag to allow the driver to power-up your Zinto UPS.
|
|
This will also power-up your equipment connected to the UPS!
|
|
|
|
BUGS
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
On the 420E, `ups.serial` and `ups.temperature` are unsupported features. This
|
|
is not a bug in NUT or the NUT driver, just the way things are with this UPS.
