For information about the core driver, see \fBnutupsdrv\fR(8)\&. .SH "SUPPORTED HARDWARE" .sp \fBoptiups\fR was originally written against a PowerES 280es in nut\-0\&.45\&. It was revised for nut\-2\&.0\&.1 and tested against a PowerES 420E\&. It is expected to work with at least the PowerES, PowerPS, and PowerVS models\&. .sp This driver additionally supports a Zinto D from ONLINE USV\-Systeme AG because of their very similar commands, but it is unknown if it also works with other UPS from them\&. .sp This driver will not work with the PowerES stock serial cable\&. You will need to construct your own three conductor cable: .sp .if n \{\ .RS 4 .\} .nf UPS 6 \-> PC 3 UPS 9 \-> PC 2 UPS 4 \-> PC 5 .fi .if n \{\ .RE .\} .sp The cable for Online\-USV uses pin UPS 7 (not UPS 4) → PC 5\&. .SH "EXTRA ARGUMENTS" .sp This driver supports the following optional settings in the \fBups.conf\fR(5) file: .PP \fBstatus_only\fR .RS 4 Only poll for critical status information\&. Without this, \fBoptiups\fR (and all NUT drivers) poll all sorts of information from the UPS fairly often\&. It is probably not often enough to hurt anything, so this option probably is not very useful, unless you have a flaky serial connection or a highly loaded machine\&. .RE .PP \fBnowarn_noimp\fR .RS 4 Does not print warnings when the UPS reports that a variable is not implemented or not pollable\&. Without the option you will get a message sent to your system logs each time NUT polls the UPS\&. If you specify \fBnowarn_noimp\fR, this message will only be logged once\&. .RE .PP \fBfake_lowbatt\fR .RS 4 This forces the low battery flag true\&. Without it, if you want to test your UPS, you will have to unplug it and wait until the battery drops to a low/critical voltage level before NUT will respond and power down your system\&. With the flag, NUT should power down the system soon after you pull the plug\&. When you are done testing, you should remove this flag\&. .sp For basic shutdown configuration testing, the command \fIupsmon \-c fsd\fR is preferred\&. .RE .PP \fBpowerup\fR .RS 4 Zinto D from ONLINE\-USV cannot be identified when switched to standby\&. Set this flag to allow the driver to power\-up your Zinto UPS\&. This will also power\-up your equipment connected to the UPS! .RE .SH "BUGS" .sp On the 420E, ups\&.serial and ups\&.temperature are unsupported features\&. This is not a bug in NUT or the NUT driver, just the way things are with this UPS\&. .SH "AUTHOR" .sp Russell Kroll, Scott Heavner, Matthias Goebl .SH "SEE ALSO" .SS "The core driver:" .sp \fBnutupsdrv\fR(8) .SS "Internet resources:" .sp The NUT (Network UPS Tools) home page: http://www\&.networkupstools\&.org/
