NOTE

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

SUPPORTED HARDWARE

       mge-shut  support  all recent MGE UPS models which use the SHUT (Serial
       HID UPS Transfer) protocol at 2400 bps. Supported models are:

           Pulsar Ellipse S,
           Pulsar Ellipse USBS
           Pulsar Ellipse Premium S,
           Pulsar Ellipse Premium USBS
           Pulsar EXtreme C,
           Pulsar Esprit,
           Pulsar Evolution,
           NOVA AVR (Serial),
           Galaxy 3000 / PW (with RS232 HID COM ports card, ref 66066).

       Older models, such as Pulsar ESV+, Pulsar EX and Pulsar  ES+,  use  the
       U-Talk protocol and should use the mge-utalk driver.

EXTRA ARGUMENTS

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


       lowbatt=num
              Set the low battery warning threshold at which shutdown is  ini-
              tiated  by  upsmon(8).  The factory default value is 30 (in per-
              centage), and only be settable depending on the exact model.


       offdelay=num
              Set the timer before the UPS is turned off after the kill  power
              command  is  sent  (via the -k switch).  The default value is 20
              (in seconds), and MUST BE LOWER than ondelay.


       ondelay=num
              Set the timer for the UPS to switch on in case the power returns
              after the kill power command had been sent but before the actual
              switch off. This ensures the machines connected to the UPS  are,
              in all cases, rebooted after a power failure.  The default value
              is 3 (in 10 seconds units, which means 30 seconds), and MUST  BE
              GREATER than offdelay.


       notification=num
              Set  notification  type  to  1  (no), 2 (light) or 3 (yes).  The
