       None known.

       •   shutdown_delay=120

       •   baud_rate=none

       This driver supports the following optional settings in the ups.conf(5).

       shutdown_delay=delay
           The number of seconds that the UPS should wait between receiving the shutdown command (upsdrvctl
           shutdown) and actually shutting off.

       baud_rate=rate
           Communication speed for the UPS. If this is set to 9600, it tries to connect to the UPS at 9600bps.
           If it fails to communicate, it will go into baud-hunting. It starts at 1200 and goes up to 19200. If
           it succeeds, it tell you the speed it connected with. If not included in the config, it defaults to
           baud-hunting.

       This driver supports the following Instant Commands:

       shutdown.return
           Turn off the load and return when power is back.

       shutdown.stayoff
           Turn off the load and remain off.

       test.battery.start
           Start a battery test.

       outlet.n.shutdown.return
           Turn off the load on outlet n and return when power is back. (n is the outlet number reported by the
           upsc command)

       This driver should recognize all serial BCM/XCP-compatible UPSes. It has been developed and tested on
       Powerware PW5115 and PW9120 hardware.

       If your UPS has a USB connection, you may also consult the bcmxcp_usb(8) driver documentation.

bcmxcp -h

       bcmxcp -a UPS_NAME [OPTIONS]

           Note

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

       Report UPS statistics information
           BCM/XCP supports reporting of UPS statistics data.
