BELKIN(8) Network UPS Tools (NUT) BELKIN(8)NAME
belkin - Driver for Belkin serial UPS equipment
NOTE
This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the belkin driver. For information about the core driver, see nutupsdrv(8).
SUPPORTED HARDWARE
The belkin driver is known to support the Regulator Pro 525 (F6C525-SER). Other similar models such as the 425 and 625 should also work.
The Trust UPS and older Belkin units are not supported.
EXTRA ARGUMENTS
This driver does not support any extra settings in the ups.conf(5).
BUGS
The protocol for this UPS is not officially documented.
Beware. It is possible to turn your UPS into a glorified power strip if you play with the protocol directly. In particular, there is one
command that will convince it that it has no batteries, so you lose your protection.
I had to go out and buy another identical model to find out what to program back into that register to bring the first one back to life.
It is not safe to send random characters to this UPS.
Note: the driver doesn't go anywhere near these character sequences, so it won't zap your UPS. I only mention this here as yet another
reminder of the perils of closed hardware.

Hey all,
I've bought a few bits from Belkin who seem quite happy to support FreeBSD! Last time I bought a UPS from them and it's still going well :D
I saw this on their website that the 16bit PCMCIA card was supported under FreeBSD:

Hi,
We had a HP Power Trust UPS connected to our HP Server using HP Unix 11. The UPS has died, and been taken off the server. The / filesystem runs out off space (100% full) as a core file is made in /etc/opt/resmon. The core file mentions monitoring of the UPS. Removing this file, another one... (3 Replies)
