NOTE

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

SUPPORTED HARDWARE

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

EXTRA ARGUMENTS

       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 (OB LB) and actually shutting off.


       baud_rate=rate
              Communication speed for the UPS. If this is set to 9600, it  try
              to connect to the UPS on 9600bps. If it fails to communicate, it
              go into baudhunting.  It start at 1200 and up to  19200.  If  it
              succeed  it  tell you the speed it connect with. If not included
              in the config it default's to baudhunting.
