NAME

6       optiups - Driver for Opti-UPS (Viewsonic) UPS equipment
7

NOTE

9       This  man  page  only  documents  the hardware‐specific features of the
10       bestups driver.  For information about the  core  driver,  see  nutups‐
11       drv(8).

SUPPORTED HARDWARE

15       optiups was originally written against a PowerES 280es in nut-0.45.  It
16       was revised for nut 2.0.1 and tested against a  PowerES  420E.   It  is
17       expected  to  work with at least the PowerES, PowerPS, and PowerVS mod‐
18       els.
19
20       This driver will not work with the PowerES  stock  serial  cable.   You
21       will need to construct your own three conductor cable:
22
23              UPS 6 -> PC 3
24              UPS 9 -> PC 2
25              UPS 4 -> PC 5

EXTRA ARGUMENTS

29       This   driver   supports   the   following  optional  settings  in  the
30       ups.conf(5):
31
32
33       status_only
34
35              Only  poll  for  critical  status  information.   Without  this,
36              optiups (and all nut drivers) poll all sorts of information from
37              the UPS fairly often.  It is probably not often enough  to  hurt
38              anything, so this option probably is not very useful, unless you
39              have a flaky serial connection or a highly loaded machine.
40
41
42       nowarn_noimp
43
44              Does not print warnings when the UPS reports that a variable  is
45              not  implemented  or  not pollable.  Without the option you will
46              get a message sent to your system logs each time nut  polls  the
47              ups.   If  you  specify  nowarn_noimp, this message will only be
48              logged once.
49
50
51       fake_lowbatt
52
53              This forces the low battery flag true.  Without it, if you  want
54              to  test your UPS, you will have to unplug it and wait until the
55              battery drops to a low/critical voltage level  before  nut  will
56              respond  and  power down your system.  With the flag, nut should
57              power down the system soon after you pull the  plug.   When  you
58              are done testing, you should remove this flag.

BUGS

62       On  the  420E, ups.serial and ups.temperature are unsupported features.
63       This is not a bug in nut or the nut driver, just  the  way  things  are
64       with this UPS.
