NOTE
This man page only documents the hardware-specific fea-
tures of the powernet driver. For information about the
core driver, see nutupsdrv(8).
DESCRIPTION
This driver partially implements APC Powernet SNMP MIB,
and allows NUT UPSD to talk to APC SNMP-capable hardware.
SUPPORTED HARDWARE
APC AP9606 Web/SNMP management card
APC AP9605 SNMP management card (as reported by Chuck Fee)
Perhaps other AP96xx cards and APC SNMP-capable hardware
EXTRA ARGUMENTS
This driver supports the following optional settings in
the ups.conf(5):
community=value
SNMPv1 community to use (default = public). Note:
you should specify SNMP community with write per-
missions to be able to send commands to the UPS and
modify UPS variables.
sdtype=value
Shutdown type to use - possible values:
0 = Soft shutdown or powerdown, depending on line
status (default)
1 = Soft shutdown followed by powerdown
2 = Instant shutdown
3 = Shutdown with grace period
REQUIREMENTS
You will need to install the Net-SNMP package from
http://www.net-snmp.org/ before building this driver.
INSTALLATION
This driver is not built by default. You can build it by
using "configure --with-drivers=powernet" before calling
make.
IMPLEMENTATION
The hostname of the UPS is specified with the "port" value
in ups.conf, i.e.:
[ap9606]
driver = powernet
port = apc-snmp-ups.example.com
community = writable
BUGS
UPS enumerated values are implemented as strings in the
driver. In a set request string converted to int and set
to the nearest available value by the agent.
