NAME

safenet - 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):
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.
