upscode2 \- Driver for UPScode II compatible UPS equipment
5
This man page only documents the hardware\(hyspecific features of the
6
upscode2 driver. For information about the core driver, see
10
This driver supports UPS equipment which can be controlled via
11
teh UPScode II protocol.
12
This is mainly Fiskars, Powerware equipment, but also some (probably OEM'ed)
16
This driver supports the following optional settings in the
19
.IP "manufacturer=\fIvalue\fR"
20
Autodetection of this parameter is not possible yet (and it probably
21
never will be). Therefore this user defined string accepts any name. The
22
default is \fIunknown\fR.
24
.IP "input_timeout=\fIvalue\fR"
25
The timeout waiting for a response from the UPS. Some UPS models have
26
shown to be rather slow, resulting in frequent messages about empty
27
responses from the UPS. If you see this, try incresing this value.
29
.IP "output_pace=\fIvalue\fR"
30
Delay between characters sent to the UPS. This was added for completenes
31
with the above parameter. It has not shown to be needed yet.
33
.IP "baudrate=\fIvalue\fR"
34
The default baudrate is 1200, which is the standard for the UPScode II
37
.IP "full_update_timer=\fIvalue\fR"
38
Number of seconds between collection of normative values.
41
Flag to set if commands towards to UPS need to be terminated with CR-LF,
45
Flag to set if commands towards to UPS need to be introduced with an LF.
46
A Compaq T1500h is known to need this.
50
The driver supports the following commands for those UPSen that support them.
51
The available commands are autodetected during initialization,
52
so you should check availability with \fIupscmd -l\fR.
54
test.panel.start \(hy Start UPS self test
56
test.battery.start \(hy Start battery self test
58
beeper.on \(hy Enable UPS beeper
60
beeper.off \(hy Disable UPS beeper
62
shutdown.return \(hy Shut down in 1 second and wait for power to return
64
shutdown.stayoff \(hy Shut down in 1 seconds
66
shutdown.reboot \(hy Shut down in 1 seconds and reboot after 1 minute
68
shutdown.reboot.graceful \(hy Shut down in 20 seconds and reboot after 1 minute
72
The Powerware UPS models that this driver has been tested against until now
73
has not returned a value for \fIbattery.charge\fR. Therefore the driver will
74
guesstimate a value based on the nominal battery min/max and the current
