BELKIN(8)			  NUT Manual			     BELKIN(8)

NAME
       belkin -	Driver for Belkin serial UPS equipment

SYNOPSIS
       belkin -h

       belkin -a UPS_NAME [OPTIONS]

	   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.

       This driver only	supports serial	connections. If	your UPS has a USB
       port, please consult the	Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) to see which
       of the USB drivers you should use.

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.
