NAME¶
bcmxcp - Driver for UPSes supporting the serial BCM/XCP protocolNOTE¶
This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the bcmxcp driver. For information about the core driver, see nutupsdrv(8).SUPPORTED HARDWARE¶
This driver should recognize all serial BCM/XCP-compatible UPSes. It has been developed and tested on Powerware PW5115 and PW9120 hardware. If your UPS has a USB connection, you may also consult the bcmxcp_usb(8) driver documentation.EXTRA ARGUMENTS¶
This driver supports the following optional settings in the ups.conf(5). shutdown_delay=delayThe number of seconds that the UPS should wait
between receiving the shutdown command (upsdrvctl shutdown) and actually
shutting off.
baud_rate=rate
Communication speed for the UPS. If this is
set to 9600, it tries to connect to the UPS at 9600bps. If it fails to
communicate, it will go into baud-hunting. It starts at 1200 and goes up to
19200. If it succeeds, it tell you the speed it connected with. If not
included in the config, it defaults to baud-hunting.
DEFAULT VALUES FOR THE EXTRA ARGUMENTS¶
•
shutdown_delay = 120
•
baud_rate = none
