NAME

6       safenet - Driver for SafeNet compatible UPS equipment
7

NOTE

9       This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the
10       safenet driver. For information about the core driver, see
11       nutupsdrv(8).
12

SUPPORTED HARDWARE

14       This driver supports UPS equipment which can be controlled via SafeNet
15       v1.0 for Windows (serial interface only).
16

EXTRA ARGUMENTS

18       This driver supports the following optional settings in the ups.conf(5)
19       file:
20
21       manufacturer=value
22           Autodetection of this parameter is not possible yet (and it
23           probably never will be). Therefore, this user-defined string
24           accepts any name. The default is unknown.
25
26       modelname=value
27           Like manufacturer above. The default is unknown.
28
29       serialnumber=value
30           Like manufacturer above. The default is unknown.
31
32       ondelay=value
33           Time to wait before switching on the UPS (minutes). Defaults to 1
34           minute.
35
36       offdelay=value
37           Time to wait before shutting down the UPS (seconds). Defaults to 30
38           seconds.
39

UPSCMD

41       This driver supports some instant commands (see upscmd(8)):
42
43       test.battery.start
44           Start UPS self test
45
46       test.battery.stop
47           Cancel UPS self test
48
49       test.failure.start
50           Start simulated power failure
51
52       test.failure.stop
53           Cancel simulated power failure
54
55       beeper.enable
56           Enable the UPS beeper
57
58       beeper.mute
59           Temporarily mute the UPS beeper
60
61       beeper.toggle
62           Toggle the UPS beeper
63
64       shutdown.return
65           Turn off the load and wait for the power to return. Uses the timer
66           defined by offdelay.
67
68       shutdown.reboot
69           Turn off the load and return. Uses the timers defined by offdelay
70           and ondelay.
71

KNOWN PROBLEMS

73       If you run the shutdown.return command with mains present, the output
74       may stay on or switch off and not back on again. The shutdown.reboot
75       command will unconditionally switch on the load again (with or without
76       mains present).
77
78       If the driver is called with the -k option (or through upsdrvctl
79       shutdown) it tries to detect which command should be used in an attempt
80       to stay off until mains is present again or to cycle the output if the
81       power returned in the mean time. This isn’t bullet-proof, and you
82       should be prepared that the power will either not be shutdown, or that
83       it doesn’t return when the power comes back.
