NAME¶
netxml-ups - Driver for Eaton / MGE Network Management Card / Proxy (XML/HTTP Protocol) equipmentNOTE¶
This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the netxml-ups driver. For information about the core driver, see nutupsdrv(8).SUPPORTED HARDWARE¶
netxml-ups support all recent Eaton / MGE models which use a Network Management Card or Proxy (MGE XML/HTTP protocol based). This applies to both Eaton (previously MGE Office Protection Systems) and to MGE UPS SYSTEMS. Supported card and proxy models are:•NMC Minislot (Ref 66102, firmware EA or
newer),
•SNMP/Web Minislot card (Ref
66244)
•NMC Transverse (Ref 66074),
•NMC & Modbus/JBus (Ref
66103),
•Network Management Proxy,
•ePDU Monitored (newer version).
EXTRA ARGUMENTS¶
This driver supports the following optional settings in the ups.conf(5): timeout=valueThe timeout for connecting to and reading from
the UPS. Defaults to 5 seconds. Don’t change this value unless you know
exactly what you’re doing.
Set the login value for authenticated mode.
This feature also needs the password argument, and allows value
settings in the card. This feature is not used yet.
password=value
Set the password value, needed with the login
for authenticated mode. This feature is not used yet.
IMPLEMENTATION¶
The hostname of the UPS is specified with the "port" value in ups.conf, i.e.:[mgexml] driver = netxml-ups port = http://netxml-ups.example.com:80
KNOWN ISSUES¶
Don’t connect to the UPS through a proxy. Although it would be trivial to add support for proxies, this is not recommended and don’t ask for it. Not only because it will prevent the driver to make a persistent connection to the UPS, but also it adds an additional failure mode. If the proxy goes down (for whatever reason), the driver will no longer be able to reach the UPS.AUTHORS¶
