SAFENET(8) NUT Manual SAFENET(8)NAMEsafenet - Driver for SafeNet compatible UPS equipment
NOTE
This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the
safenet driver. For information about the core driver, see
nutupsdrv(8).
SUPPORTED HARDWARE
This driver supports UPS equipment which can be controlled via SafeNet
v1.0 for Windows (serial interface only).
EXTRA ARGUMENTS
This driver supports the following optional settings in the ups.conf(5)
file:
manufacturer=value
Autodetection of this parameter is not possible yet (and it
probably never will be). Therefore, this user-defined string
accepts any name. The default is unknown.
modelname=value
Like manufacturer above. The default is unknown.
serialnumber=value
Like manufacturer above. The default is unknown.
ondelay=value
Time to wait before switching on the UPS (minutes). Defaults to 1
minute.
offdelay=value
Time to wait before shutting down the UPS (seconds). Defaults to 30
seconds.
UPSCMD
This driver supports some instant commands (see upscmd(8)):
test.battery.start
Start UPS self test
test.battery.stop
Cancel UPS self test
test.failure.start
Start simulated power failure
test.failure.stop
Cancel simulated power failure
beeper.enable
Enable the UPS beeper
beeper.mute
Temporarily mute the UPS beeper
beeper.toggle
Toggle the UPS beeper
shutdown.return
Turn off the load and wait for the power to return. Uses the timer
defined by offdelay.
shutdown.reboot
Turn off the load and return. Uses the timers defined by offdelay
and ondelay.
KNOWN PROBLEMS
If you run the shutdown.return command with mains present, the output
may stay on or switch off and not back on again. The shutdown.reboot
command will unconditionally switch on the load again (with or without
mains present).
If the driver is called with the -k option (or through upsdrvctl
shutdown) it tries to detect which command should be used in an attempt
to stay off until mains is present again or to cycle the output if the
power returned in the mean time. This isn’t bullet-proof, and you
should be prepared that the power will either not be shutdown, or that
it doesn’t return when the power comes back.
