13 Note
14 This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the
15 mge-utalk driver. For information about the core driver, see
16 nutupsdrv(8).
17
19 mge-utalk supports the following legacy units, using the MGE UTalk
20 protocol:
21
22 Pulsar ESV+,
23 Pulsar ES+,
24 Pulsar EL,
25 Pulsar EX,
26 Pulsar EXtreme,
27 Comet EXtreme,
28 Comet (Utalk Serial Card, ref 66060),
29 Galaxy (Utalk Serial Card, ref 66060).
30
31 This driver also support some newer models with backward UTalk
32 compatibility, such as Pulsar Evolution and Pulsar EXtreme C. As these
33 models also support the SHUT protocol, prefer mge-shut for serial
34 communication, or use the USB port, if available, with the usbhid-ups
35 driver.
36
38 This driver supports the following optional settings in the
39 ups.conf(5):
40
41 lowbatt=num
42 Set the low battery warning threshold at which shutdown is
43 initiated by upsmon(8).
44
45 The factory default value is 30 (in percent), and can be settable
46 depending on the exact model.
47
48 offdelay=num
49 Set the timer before the UPS is turned off after the kill power
50 command is sent (via the -k switch).
51
52 The default value is 20 (in seconds).
53
54 ondelay=num
55 Set the delay before the UPS is turned on, after the power returns.
56
57 The default value is 1 (in minutes).
58
59 oldmac
60 Set this flag if you are running Linux on an Oldworld Macintosh box
61 (all beige Apple Macintosh). This might also be needed for other
62 OSs (like *BSD) running on PowerMac.
63
65 Repetitive timeout and staleness
66 Older models, such as ES/ESV ones, might report repetitive "data stale"
67 errors. This is due to the fact that these models don’t support too
68 much polling. To solve this problem, add "pollinterval=20" in ups.conf,
69 and change the value of MAXAGE to 25 in upsd.conf, and DEADTIME to 25
70 in upsmon.conf.
