[Nut-upsuser] Where are usbhid-ups driver parameters defined - and what do some of them mean?

2009-05-22 Thread Richard Chapman
I am using the usbhid-ups driver with a Belkin UPS. upsc shows several parameters which I would like to both understand and probably change. In particular the following part of upsc output: battery.charge.low: 30 battery.charge.warning: 30 battery.runtime: 120 My questions are: 1) What is the

Hi John I am using a very similar Belkin UPS with nut 2.2.0 and Centos 5.3. I can't find my exact model number but I think mine is the 1200va version similar to yours. I also tried installing the supplied Linux drivers - but gave up. I also gave up on the serial connection. But I have got it wo

cript - somehow test whether we are still on battery - and if so - issue the shut-down immediately. Out of interest - do you know what the ups parameter: battery.runtime: 120 Means - and where might it be documented? Thanks Jon Richard. Jon Bendtsen wrote: On 20/05/2009, at 12.11, Richard Ch

[Nut-upsuser] upsmon shutdown based on Time since power fail.

For various reasons - I have been trying to get my Desktops and/or servers to shut-down a fixed time after a power fail - or better still a fixed time - or a low battery whichever comes first. I note in my upsc: *> upsc belkinusb* battery.charge: 100 battery.charge.low: 30 battery.charge.warnin

Hi all Is the syntax: ACL lan 10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 allowed and correct? Shouldn't it be: ACL lan 10.0.0.0/8 If both notations are allowed in the same syntax - it is news to me - but then many things are news to me...:-) Richard. Charles Lepple wrote: > On Dec 21, 2007 11:07 AM, Ricardo Bu

Hi Arjen I guess you are right that we learned something from running the driver stand alone - but the debug level didn't seem to add as much verbosity as it did with other drivers. I have checked on your suggestions: > A couple of things can be wrong here. The serial port (or the setup) is > b
