NAME¶
optiups - Driver for Opti-UPS (Viewsonic) UPS and Zinto D (ONLINE-USV) equipmentNOTE¶
This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the optiups driver. For information about the core driver, see nutupsdrv(8).SUPPORTED HARDWARE¶
optiups 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.UPS 6 -> PC 3 UPS 9 -> PC 2 UPS 4 -> PC 5
EXTRA ARGUMENTS¶
This driver supports the following optional settings in the ups.conf(5) file: status_onlyOnly poll for critical status information.
Without this, optiups (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.
nowarn_noimp
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 nowarn_noimp, this message will only be logged once.
fake_lowbatt
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.
For basic shutdown configuration testing, the command upsmon -c fsd is
preferred.
powerup
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!
BUGS¶
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.AUTHOR¶
