19 This man page only documents the hardware-specific features
20 of the apcsmart driver. For information about the core
21 driver, see nutupsdrv(8).
22 !!SUPPORTED HARDWARE
23
24
25 apcsmart should recognize all APC models that use a serial
26 protocol at 2400 bps. This is primarily the Smart-UPS and
27 Matrix-UPS lines, but some Back-UPS Pro models are also
28 supported.
29
30
31 Some older hardware may only report a handful of variables.
32 This is usually not a bug - they just don't support anything
33 else.
34 !!CABLING

37 This driver expects to see a 940-0024C cable or a clone by
38 default. You can switch to the 940-0095B dual-mode cable
39 support with the cable= definition described
40 below.
41
42
43 If your 940-0024C cable is broken or missing, use this
44 diagram to build a clone:

74
75
76 2: instant power off
77

82 Modes 0 and 1 will power up the load when power returns.
83 Modes 2 and 3 will keep the load turned off when the power
84 returns.
85 !!BUGS
86
87
88 Some older APC UPS models return bogus data in the status
89 register during a front panel test. This is usually detected
90 and discarded, but some other unexpected values have
91 occasionally slipped through.
