SAFENET(8)			   NUT Manual			      SAFENET(8)

NAME
     safenet - Driver for SafeNet compatible UPS equipment

SYNOPSIS
     safenet -h

     safenet -a UPS_NAME [OPTIONS]

	 Note

	 This  man  page  only	documents  the hardware-specific features of the
	 safenet driver. For information about	the  core  driver,  see  nutups-
	 drv(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)
     file:

     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.

INSTANT COMMANDS
     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  de-
	 fined 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.
