APCSMART(8) Network UPS Tools (NUT) APCSMART(8) 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. AUTHOR

MGE-ELLIPSE(8) Network UPS Tools (NUT) MGE-ELLIPSE(8) NAME
mge-ellipse - Driver for MGE UPS serial SHUT Protocol UPS equipment NOTE
This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the mge-ellipse driver. For information about the core driver, see nutups- drv(8). SUPPORTED HARDWARE
mge-ellipse should work with all recent MGE UPS models which use a serial protocol at 2400 bps, however I only tested it with a Ellipse 800S model so at the moment only the feature found is this (low end) model are supported. Older models (Pulsar series) use the U-Talk protocol and should use the mgeups driver. EXTRA ARGUMENTS
This driver supports the following optional settings in the ups.conf(5): lowbatt=num Set the low battery warning threshold at which shutdown is initiated by upsmon(8). The factory default value is 30 (in percentage). offdelay=num Set the timer before the UPS is turned off after the kill power command is sent (via the -k switch). The factory default value is 120 (in seconds). ondelay=num Set the timer for the UPS to switch on in case the power returns after the kill power command had been sent but before the actual switch off. This ensures the machines connected to the UPS are, in all cases, rebooted after a power failure. The factory default value is 13 (in 10 seconds units). debug=1 logs quite a lot of debugging information to syslog. BUGS
The driver should be more generic to be able to handle the capabilities of the whole range of MGE UPS models using the SHUT protocol. AUTHOR
