MGE-ELLIPSE(8) Network UPS Tools (NUT) MGE-ELLIPSE(8)NAMEmge-ellipse - Driver for MGE UPS serial SHUT Protocol UPS
equipment
NOTE
This man page only documents the hardware-specific fea-
tures of the mge-ellipse driver. For information about
the core driver, see nutupsdrv(8).
SUPPORTED HARDWAREmge-ellipse should work with all recent MGE UPS models
which use a serial protocol at 2400 bps, however I only
tested it with a Ellipse 800S model so at the moment only
the feature found is this (low end) model are supported.
Older models (Pulsar series) use the U-Talk protocol and
should use the mgeups driver.
EXTRA ARGUMENTS
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 percentage).
offdelay=num
Set the timer before the UPS is turned off after
the kill power command is sent (via the -k switch).
The factory default value is 120 (in seconds).
ondelay=num
Set the timer for the UPS to switch on in case the
power returns after the kill power command had been
sent but before the actual switch off. This ensures
the machines connected to the UPS are, in all
cases, rebooted after a power failure. The factory
default value is 13 (in 10 seconds units).
debug=1
logs quite a lot of debugging information to sys-
log.
BUGS
The driver should be more generic to be able to handle the
capabilities of the whole range of MGE UPS models using
the SHUT protocol.
