NAME
       safenet - Driver for SafeNet compatible UPS equipment

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

UPSCMD
       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
           defined 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.
