NAME

       belkin - Driver for Belkin serial UPS equipment

NOTE

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

SUPPORTED HARDWARE

       The belkin driver is known to support the Regulator Pro 525 (F6C525-SER). Other similar
       models such as the 425 and 625 should also work.

       The Trust UPS and older Belkin units are not supported.

EXTRA ARGUMENTS

       This driver does not support any extra settings in the ups.conf(5).

BUGS

       There are dragons lurking within the protocol to this UPS. I have one that essentially
       behaves like a glorified power strip due to some invasive probing on my part. Don’t mess
       with it directly.

           Note
           the driver doesn’t go anywhere near these character sequences, so it won’t zap your
           UPS. I only mention this here as yet another reminder of the perils of closed
           hardware.
