NAME

6       richcomm_usb - Driver UPS equipment using Richcomm dry-contact to USB
7       solution

NOTE

10       This man page only documents the specific features of the richcomm_usb
11       driver. For information about the core driver, see nutupsdrv(8).

SUPPORTED HARDWARE

14       The Richcomm dry-contact to USB solution is a generic interface that is
15       used to upgrade an existing (RS-232) contact closure UPS interface to
16       USB. As such, all the limitations of the underlying contact closure
17       interface apply. This means that you will only get the essentials in
18       ups.status: OL, OB, and LB. See also genericups(8).

BUGS

21       Most contact-closure UPSes will not power down the load if the line
22       power is present. This can create a race when using slave upsmon(8)
23       systems. See the upsmon(8) man page for more information.
24
25       The solution to both of these problems is to upgrade to a smart
26       protocol UPS of some kind that allows detection and proper load cycling
27       on command.
