NAME

6       bcmxcp - Driver for UPSes supporting the serial BCM/XCP protocol
7

NOTE

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

SUPPORTED HARDWARE

13       This driver should recognize all serial BCM/XCP-compatible UPSes. It
14       has been developed and tested on Powerware PW5115 and PW9120 hardware.
15       If your UPS has a USB connection, you may also consult the
16       bcmxcp_usb(8) driver documentation.
17

EXTRA ARGUMENTS

19       This driver supports the following optional settings in the
20       ups.conf(5).
21
22       shutdown_delay=delay
23           The number of seconds that the UPS should wait between receiving
24           the shutdown command (upsdrvctl shutdown) and actually shutting
25           off.
26
27       baud_rate=rate
28           Communication speed for the UPS. If this is set to 9600, it tries
29           to connect to the UPS at 9600bps. If it fails to communicate, it
30           will go into baud-hunting. It starts at 1200 and goes up to 19200.
31           If it succeeds, it tell you the speed it connected with. If not
32           included in the config, it defaults to baud-hunting.
33

DEFAULT VALUES FOR THE EXTRA ARGUMENTS

35       •   shutdown_delay = 120
36
37       •   baud_rate = none
38

INSTANT COMMANDS

40       This driver supports the following Instant Commands:
41
42       shutdown.return
43           Turn off the load and return when power is back.
44
45       shutdown.stayoff
46           Turn off the load and remain off.
47
48       test.battery.start
49           Start a battery test.
50
51       outlet.n.shutdown.return
52           Turn off the load on outlet n and return when power is back. (n is
53           the outlet number reported by the upsc command)
54

TODO LIST
