!!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 values for -x or in
the ups.conf.
!!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.
