NAME
bcmxcp - Driver for UPSes supporting the serial BCM/XCP protocol NOTE
This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the bcmxcp driver. For information about the core driver, see nutupsdrv(8). SUPPORTED HARDWARE
This driver should recognize all serial BCM/XCP-compatible UPSes. It has been developed and tested on Powerware PW5115 and PW9120 hardware. If your UPS has a USB connection, you may also consult the bcmxcp_usb(8) driver documentation. EXTRA ARGUMENTS
This driver supports the following optional settings in the ups.conf(5). shutdown_delay=delay The number of seconds that the UPS should wait between receiving the shutdown command (upsdrvctl shutdown) and actually shutting off. baud_rate=rate Communication speed for the UPS. If this is set to 9600, it tries to connect to the UPS at 9600bps. If it fails to communicate, it will go into baud-hunting. It starts at 1200 and goes up to 19200. If it succeeds, it tell you the speed it connected with. If not included in the config, it defaults to baud-hunting. DEFAULT VALUES FOR THE EXTRA ARGUMENTS
o shutdown_delay = 120 o baud_rate = none INSTANT COMMANDS
This driver supports the following Instant Commands: shutdown.return Turn off the load and return when power is back. shutdown.stayoff Turn off the load and remain off. test.battery.start Start a battery test. outlet.n.shutdown.return Turn off the load on outlet n and return when power is back. (n is the outlet number reported by the upsc command) TODO LIST
Report UPS statistics information BCM/XCP supports reporting of UPS statistics data. Change settings Access the config register to change settings. BUGS
None known. AUTHOR

NAME
bcmxcp_usb - Experimental driver for UPSes supporting the BCM/XCP protocol over USB NOTE
This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the bcmxcp_usb driver. For information about the core driver, see nutupsdrv(8). This driver is a variant of the serial driver bcmxcp and uses the same core code. SUPPORTED HARDWARE
This driver should recognize all BCM/XCP-compatible UPSes that are connected via USB. It has been developed and tested on Powerware PW3501 hardware. It also has been tested on PW5110 hardware. EXTRA ARGUMENTS
This driver supports the following optional settings in the ups.conf(5). shutdown_delay=delay The number of seconds that the UPS should wait between receiving the shutdown command and actually shutting off. DEFAULT VALUES FOR THE EXTRA ARGUMENTS
shutdown_delay =120 INSTANT COMMANDS
This driver supports the following Instant Commands: shutdown.return Turn off the load and return when power is back. shutdown.stayoff Turn off the load and remain off. test.battery.start Start a battery test. TODO LIST
Report UPS alarm status BCM/XCP supports reporting a wide range of UPS alarm conditions. Report UPS statistics informations BCM/XCP supports reporting of UPS statistics data. EXPERIMENTAL DRIVER
This driver has been tagged experimental, even if it has been reported to be stable. Thus it is not suitable for production systems and it is not built by default. This is mainly due to the fact that it is a new driver. INSTALLATION
This driver is not built by default. You can build it by using "configure --with-usb=yes". Note that it will also install other USB drivers. You also need to install manually the hotplug files (libhidups and libhid.usermap), generally in etc/hotplug/usb/, to address the permission settings problem. Lastly note that the libhidups file must have execution flag set (ie using chmod +x ...). IMPLEMENTATION
bcmxcp_usb only supports 1 UPS at this time. You can put the "auto" value for port in ups.conf, i.e.: [pw3105] driver = bcmxcp_usb port = auto KNOWN ISSUES AND BUGS
Got EPERM: Operation not permitted upon driver startup"" You have forgotten to install the hotplug files, as explained in the INSTALLATION section above. Don't forget to restart hotplug so that it applies these changes. AUTHOR
