RICHCOMM_USB(8) NUT Manual RICHCOMM_USB(8)NAMErichcomm_usb - Driver UPS equipment using Richcomm dry-contact to USB
solution
NOTE
This man page only documents the specific features of the richcomm_usb
driver. For information about the core driver, see nutupsdrv(8).
SUPPORTED HARDWARE
The Richcomm dry-contact to USB solution is a generic interface that is
used to upgrade an existing (RS-232) contact closure UPS interface to
USB. As such, all the limitations of the underlying contact closure
interface apply. This means that you will only get the essentials in
ups.status: OL, OB, and LB. See also genericups(8).
BUGS
Most contact-closure UPSes will not power down the load if the line
power is present. This can create a race when using slave upsmon(8)
systems. See the upsmon(8) man page for more information.
The solution to both of these problems is to upgrade to a smart
protocol UPS of some kind that allows detection and proper load cycling
on command.
