.TH POWERCOM 8 "Mon Jul 14 2003" "" "Network UPS Tools (NUT)" .SH NAME powercom \- UPS driver for Powercom/Trust/Advice UPS equipment .SH NOTE This man page only documents the hardware\(hyspecific features of the powercom driver. For information about the core driver, see \fBnutupsdrv\fR(8). .SH SUPPORTED HARDWARE This driver supports many similar kinds of UPS hardware. The most common ones are the Trust 425/625, Powercom, and Advice Partner/King PR750. Others using the same protocol may also work. .SH EXTRA ARGUMENTS This driver supports the following optional settings in the \fBups.conf\fR(5): .IP "linevoltage=\fIvalue\fR" An integer specifying the mains voltage. It can't be auto detected. Acceptable values are in the range of 110\(hy120 or 220\(hy240. The default is \fI230\fR. .IP "manufacturer=\fIname\fR" Specify the manufacturer name, which also can't be auto detected. This is a user defined string so any name is acceptable. The default is \fIPowerCom\fR. .IP "modelname=\fIname\fR" Specify the model name, which also can't be auto detected. This is a user defined string so any name is acceptable. The default is \fIUnknown\fR. .IP "serialnumber=\fIvalue\fR" Like modelname above, but for the serial number. The default is \fIUnknown\fR. .IP "type=\fIname\fR" The exact type of the communication protocol within the powercom family, that will be used to communicate with the UPS. The type is named after the first modelname that was coded with that protocol. The acceptable names are KP625AP, Trust, KIN2200AP, Egys, KIN525AP or KIN1500AP. The default is \fITrust\fR. .IP "numOfBytesFromUPS=\fIvalue\fR" The number of bytes in a UPS frame. The default is type dependant and is given below. .IP "voltage=\fI{coefficient1,coefficient2,coefficient3,coefficient4}\fR" A quad that is used convert the raw data to human readable voltage reading. The default is type dependant and is given below. Do note that the braces and commas are mandatory, as well as the lack of white space characters. .IP "methodOfFlowControl=\fIname\fR" The method of serial communication flow control that is engaged by the UPS. The default is type dependant and is given below. Acceptable names are dtr0rts1, dtr1 or no_flow_control. .IP "frequency=\fI{coefficient1,coefficient2}\fR" A pair to convert the raw data to human readable frequency reading. The default is type dependant and is given below. Do note that the braces and commas are mandatory as well, as the lack of white space characters. .IP "batteryPercentage=\fI{coefficient1,coefficient2,coefficient3,coefficient4,coefficient5}\fR" A 5 tuple to convert the raw data to human readable battery percentage reading. The default is type dependant and is given below. Do note that the braces and commas are mandatory, as the lack of white space characters. .IP "loadPercentage=\fI{coefficient1,coefficient2,coefficient3,coefficient4}\fR" A quad to convert the raw data to human readable load percentage reading. The default is type dependant and is given below. Do note that the braces and commas are mandatory, as the lack of white space characters. .IP "validationSequence=\fI{{index1,value1},{index2,value2},{index3,value3}}\fR" 3 pairs to be used for validating the UPS by comparing bytes of the raw data with constant values. The default is type dependant and is given below. The braces and commas are mandatory, as the lack of white space characters. .IP "shutdownArguments=\fI{{minutes,seconds},whether_minutes_should_be_used}\fR" The minutes and seconds that the UPS should wait between receiving the shutdown command and actually shutting off. The other argument should be set to the character \fIn\fR only when the minutes value should be skipped and not sent to the UPS. The default is type dependant and is given below. The braces and commas are mandatory. Note that there should be no white space characters. .SH DEFAULT VALUES FOR THE EXTRA ARGUMENTS .IP "linevoltage = \fI230\fR" .IP "manufacturer = \fIPowerCom\fR" .IP "modelname = \fIUnknown\fR" .IP "serialnumber = \fIUnknown\fR" .IP "type = \fITrust\fR" .P The rest of the default values for the extra arguments are type dependant: .IP "Trust" .RS .IP "numOfBytesFromUPS = 11" .IP "methodOfFlowControl = dtr0rts1" .IP "validationSequence = {{5,0},{7,0},{8,0}}" .IP "shutdownArguments = {{0,10},n}" .IP "frequency = {0.00020997,0.00020928}" .IP "loadPercentage = {6.1343,\-0.3808,4.3110,0.1811}" .IP "batteryPercentage = {5.0000,0.3268,\-825.00,4.5639,\-835.82}" .IP "voltage = {1.9216,\-0.0977,0.9545,0.0000}" .RE .IP "KP625AP" .RS .IP "numOfBytesFromUPS = 16" .IP "methodOfFlowControl = dtr0rts1" .IP "validationSequence = {{5,0x80},{7,0},{8,0}}" .IP "shutdownArguments = {{0,10},n}" .IP "frequency = {0.00020997,0.00020928}" .IP "loadPercentage = {6.1343,\-0.3808,4.3110,0.1811}" .IP "batteryPercentage = {5.0000,0.3268,\-825.00,4.5639,\-835.82}" .IP "voltage = {1.9216,\-0.0977,0.9545,0.0000}" .RE .IP "KIN2200AP" .RS .IP "numOfBytesFromUPS = 16" .IP "methodOfFlowControl = dtr0rts1" .IP "validationSequence = {{7,0},{8,0},{8,0}}" .IP "shutdownArguments = {{0,10},n}" .IP "frequency = {0.00020997,0.0}" .IP "loadPercentage = {6.1343,\-0.3808,1.075,0.1811}" .IP "batteryPercentage = {5.0000,0.3268,\-825.00,0.46511,0}" .IP "voltage = {1.9216,\-0.0977,0.82857,0.0000}" .RE .IP "Egys" .RS .IP "numOfBytesFromUPS = 16" .IP "methodOfFlowControl = no_flow_control" .IP "validationSequence = {{5,0x80},{7,0},{8,0}}" .IP "shutdownArguments = {{0,10},n}" .IP "frequency = {0.00020997,0.00020928}" .IP "loadPercentage = {6.1343,\-0.3808,1.3333,0.6667}" .IP "batteryPercentage = {5.0000,0.3268,\-825.00,2.2105,\-355.37}" .IP "voltage = {1.9216,\-0.0977,0.9545,0.0000}" .RE .IP "KIN525AP" .RS .IP "numOfBytesFromUPS = 16" .IP "methodOfFlowControl = dtr1" .IP "validationSequence = {{5,0x80},{7,0},{8,0}}" .IP "shutdownArguments = {{0,10},y}" .IP "frequency = {0.00020997,0.00020928}" .IP "loadPercentage = {6.1343,\-0.3808,4.3110,0.1811}" .IP "batteryPercentage = {5.0000,0.3268,\-825.00,4.5639,\-835.82}" .IP "voltage = {1.9216,\-0.0977,0.9545,0.0000}" .RE .IP "KIN1500AP" .RS .IP "numOfBytesFromUPS = 16" .IP "methodOfFlowControl = no_flow_control" .IP "validationSequence = {{7,0},{8,0},{8,0}}" .IP "shutdownArguments = {{0,10},n}" .IP "frequency = {0.00020997,0.0}" .IP "loadPercentage = {6.1343,\-0.3808,1.075,0.1811}" .IP "batteryPercentage = {5.0000,0.3268,\-825.00,0.46511,0}" .IP "voltage = {1.9216,\-0.0977,0.82857,0.0000}" .RE .SH AUTHOR Peter Bieringer .SH SEE ALSO .SS The core driver: \fBnutupsdrv\fR(8) .SS Internet resources: The NUT (Network UPS Tools) home page: http://www.networkupstools.org/
