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: http://www.exploits.org/nut/library/cables/940-0024C.jpg
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.
