.SH "NAME"
microsol-apc \- Driver for APC Back\-UPS BR UPS equipment
.SH "NOTE"
.sp
This man page only documents the hardware\-specific features of the microsol\-apc driver\&. For information about the core driver, see \fBnutupsdrv\fR(8)\&.
.SH "SUPPORTED HARDWARE"
.sp
This driver supports the following UPS models:

.RE
.sp
In 2009, Schneider Electric acquired Microsol Technologies, and by 2012, the entire Microsol line was being sold under the APC brand\&. This driver supports these newer, APC\-branded models\&. Older equipment should use \fBsolis\fR(8)\&.
.SH "EXTRA ARGUMENTS"
.sp
This driver support the following extra optional settings in the \fBups.conf\fR(5)\&.
.sp
\fBbattext = n\fR \- (default = 0, no extra battery, where n = Ampere*hour )
.sp
\fBprgshut = 1\fR \- (default = 0, no programmable shutdown )
.SH "COMMANDS"
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
shutdown\&.return \- Shut down in \&.3 minutes and restart in \&.3 minutes
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
shutdown\&.stayoff \- Shut down in \&.3 minutes and do not return
.RE
.SH "ISSUES"
.sp
For other APC\-Microsol models, the reported voltages, currents and power will be incorrect, as the communication protocol reports unprocessed data instead of real values, needing model\-specific post\-processing by the driver\&. Monitoring of UPS state (on\-battery/on\-line, critical battery) should work for other models, but is untested\&.
