This man page only documents the hardware-specific features |
| |
|
20 |
of the apcsmart driver. For information about the core |
| |
|
21 |
driver, see nutupsdrv(8). |

!!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. |

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: |

Use shutdown type ''num'', according to this |
| |
|
66 |
table: |
| |
|
67 |
|
| |
|
68 |
|
| |
|
69 |
0: soft shutdown or powerdown, depending on battery |
| |
|
70 |
status |
| |
|
71 |
|
| |
|
72 |
|
| |
|
73 |
1: soft shutdown followed by powerdown |
| |
|
74 |
|
| |
|
75 |
|
| |
|
76 |
2: instant power off |
| |
|
77 |
|
| |
|
78 |
|
| |
|
79 |
3: power off with grace period |
| |
|
80 |
|
| |
|
81 |
|
| |
|
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. |
