NAME

       newapc - Driver for American Power Conversion Smart Protocol UPS equipment

NOTE

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

SUPPORTED HARDWARE

       newapc  should  recognize  all  recent  APC models that use a serial protocol at 2400 bps.  This is primarily the Smart-UPS, Matrix-UPS and
       Back-UPS Pro lines.  Older APC models may work better with the apcsmart driver.

       The driver attempts to support every bell and whistle of the APC reporting interface, whether or not this is strictly sensible.

       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.
