Driver for Belkin serial UPS equipment

Synopsis

belkin -h

belkin -a UPS_NAME [OPTIONS]

Note

This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the belkin driver​. For information about the core driver, see nutupsdrv(8)​.

Supported Hardware

The belkin driver is known to support the Regulator Pro 525 (F6C525-SER)​. Other similar models such as the 425 and 625 should also work​.

The Trust UPS and older Belkin units are not supported​.

This driver only supports serial connections​. If your UPS has a USB port, please consult the Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) to see which of the USB drivers you should use​.

Extra Arguments

This driver does not support any extra settings in the ups.conf(5)​.

Bugs

There are dragons lurking within the protocol to this UPS​. I have one that essentially behaves like a glorified power strip due to some invasive probing on my part​. Don’t mess with it directly​.

Note

The driver doesn’t go anywhere near these character sequences, so it won’t zap your UPS​. I only mention this here as yet another reminder of the perils of closed hardware​.
