I have figured out about 90% of the APC Smart UPS Protocol and I
was wondering if there were some people out there interested in
getting the information. I know that APC only releases the info on
their Smart Series UPS's on a NON-Disclosure Agreement only basis, but
I did not get the info from them I figured it out on my own. If any
of the FreeBSD community is interested E-Mail me & I'll send you what
I have. The info includes Cable pinouts, Serial port parameters, what
the MAJOR commands are, and what the UPS sends back. The information
you can get back from the ups is:
Battery Voltage
Load on ups in %
Line Frequency
Input Line Voltage
Input Max Voltage
Input Min Voltage
Output Voltage
You can start a self test, Test all LED's on front panel, get ups soft
rev, and shutdown UPS. If you are interested EMail me at;
pth3k@galen.med.virginia.edu
I will try to send you the info that day.
Thanks,
