mge-utalk -a UPS_NAME [OPTIONS]

mge-utalk supports the following legacy units, using the MGE UTalk protocol:

• Pulsar ESV+
• Pulsar ES+
• Pulsar EL
• Pulsar EX
• Pulsar EXtreme
• Comet EXtreme
• Comet (Utalk Serial Card, ref 66060)
• Galaxy (Utalk Serial Card, ref 66060)

This driver also support some newer models with backward UTalk compatibility, such as Pulsar Evolution and Pulsar EXtreme C​. As these models also support the SHUT protocol, prefer mge-shut(8) for serial communication, or use the USB port, if available, with the usbhid-ups(8)] driver​.

This driver supports the following optional settings in the ups.conf(5):

lowbatt=num

Set the low battery warning threshold at which shutdown is initiated by upsmon(8)​.

The factory default value is 30 (in percent), and can be settable depending on the exact model​.

offdelay=num

Set the timer before the UPS is turned off after the kill power command is sent (via the -k switch)​.

The default value is 20 (in seconds)​.

ondelay=num

Set the delay before the UPS is turned on, after the power returns​.

The default value is 1 (in minutes)​.

oldmac

Set this flag if you are running Linux on an Oldworld Macintosh box (all beige Apple Macintosh)​. This might also be needed for other OSs (like *BSD) running on PowerMac​.
