NAME

       apcsmart - Driver for American Power Conversion Smart Protocol UPS equipment

NOTE

       This  man  page	only  documents the hardware-specific features of the apcsmart driver.	For information about the core driver, see nutups-
       drv(8).

SUPPORTED HARDWARE

       apcsmart should recognize all APC models that use a serial protocol at 2400 bps.  This is primarily the Smart-UPS and Matrix-UPS lines, but
       some Back-UPS Pro models are also supported.

       Some older hardware may only report a handful of variables.  This is usually not a bug - they just don't support anything else.

CABLING

       This  driver  expects  to  see  a  940-0024C cable or a clone by default.  You can switch to the 940-0095B dual-mode cable support with the
       cable= definition described below.

       If your 940-0024C cable is broken or missing, use this diagram to build a clone:

EXTRA ARGUMENTS

       This driver supports the following optional settings in the ups.conf(5):

       cable=940-0095B
	      Configure the serial port for the APC 940-0095B dual-mode cable.

       sdtype=num
	      Use shutdown type num, according to this table:

	      0: soft shutdown or powerdown, depending on battery status

	      1: soft shutdown followed by powerdown

	      2: instant power off

	      3: power off with grace period

	      Modes 0 and 1 will power up the load when power returns.	Modes 2 and 3 will keep the load turned off when the power returns.

BUGS

       Some older APC UPS models return bogus data in the status register during a front panel test.  This is usually detected and discarded,  but
       some other unexpected values have occasionally slipped through.
