NAME
mge-shut - Driver for MGE UPS serial SHUT Protocol UPS equipment

NOTE
This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the mge-shut driver. For information about the core driver, see nutupsdrv(8).

SUPPORTED HARDWARE
mge-shut support all recent MGE UPS models which use the SHUT (Serial HID UPS Transfer) protocol at 2400 bps. Supported models are:
    Pulsar Ellipse S,
    Pulsar Ellipse Premium S,
    Pulsar EXtreme C,
    Pulsar Esprit,
    Pulsar / Comet EXtreme,
    Galaxy 3000 / PW (with RS232 HID COM ports card, ref 66066). Older models, such as Pulsar ESV+, Pulsar EX and Pulsar ES+, use the U-Talk protocol and should use the mge-utalk 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).

notification=num
    Set notification type to 1 (no), 2 (light) or 3 (yes). The default value is 1 (no), but 3 (yes) must be used with some older Ellipse models.
