apcupsd and SMC1500I

[Anonymous user]

Hello!
apcupsd support SMC1500I?

thank you

Hi,

APCUPSD supports the SMC attached via USB. The information displayed is the same as a SMT or SMX Smart-UPS.

When an electric current is turned off, APCUPSD normally shut down the computer (using the connection via usb to SMC1500I)?

[BillP]

If you configure the software to do so, yes. Below are the available configurable parameters. If you have other question concerning APCUPSD you should post to APCUPSD E-mail list.

# ======== Configuration parameters used during power failures ==========
#

# The ONBATTERYDELAY is the time in seconds from when a power failure
#   is detected until we react to it with an onbattery event.
#
#   This means that, apccontrol will be called with the powerout argument
#   immediately when a power failure is detected.  However, the
#   onbattery argument is passed to apccontrol only after the
#   ONBATTERYDELAY time.  If you don't want to be annoyed by short
#   powerfailures, make sure that apccontrol powerout does nothing
#   i.e. comment out the wall.
ONBATTERYDELAY 6

#
# Note: BATTERYLEVEL, MINUTES, and TIMEOUT work in conjunction, so
# the first that occurs will cause the initation of a shutdown.
#

# If during a power failure, the remaining battery percentage
# (as reported by the UPS) is below or equal to BATTERYLEVEL,
# apcupsd will initiate a system shutdown.
BATTERYLEVEL 5

# If during a power failure, the remaining runtime in minutes
# (as calculated internally by the UPS) is below or equal to MINUTES,
# apcupsd, will initiate a system shutdown.
MINUTES 3

# If during a power failure, the UPS has run on batteries for TIMEOUT
# many seconds or longer, apcupsd will initiate a system shutdown.
# A value of 0 disables this timer.
#
#  Note, if you have a Smart UPS, you will most likely want to disable
#    this timer by setting it to zero. That way, you UPS will continue
#    on batteries until either the % charge remaing drops to or below BATTERYLEVEL,
#    or the remaining battery runtime drops to or below MINUTES.  Of course,
#    if you are testing, setting this to 60 causes a quick system shutdown
#    if you pull the power plug.   
#  If you have an older dumb UPS, you will want to set this to less than
#    the time you know you can run on batteries.
TIMEOUT 0

#  Time in seconds between annoying users to signoff prior to
#  system shutdown. 0 disables.
ANNOY 300

# Initial delay after power failure before warning users to get
# off the system.
ANNOYDELAY 60

# The condition which determines when users are prevented from
# logging in during a power failure.
# NOLOGON [ disable | timeout | percent | minutes | always ]
NOLOGON disable

# If KILLDELAY is non-zero, apcupsd will continue running after a
# shutdown has been requested, and after the specified time in
# seconds attempt to kill the power. This is for use on systems
# where apcupsd cannot regain control after a shutdown.
# KILLDELAY   0 disables
KILLDELAY 0

1. Do I understand correctly that in this case will be applied protocol MODBUS?
2. All of this information (SMC1500I + APCUPSD) also applies to the SMT1500?

[BillP]

Modbus in not available with SMC. Modbus is available with SMT1500 that have firmware 9.0 and above.

Kbase FA175911 discusses SMTs and Modbus.

What protocol is used for exchanging SMC1500I + APCUPSD ?

[BillP]

The Back-UPS using standard USB to HID power device protocol. The information is available at this link http://www.usb.org/developers/hidpage/pdcv10.pdf

I use the operating system CentOS 6.6.

Do I understand correctly:
To fully support APCUPSD, I need to buy a model SMT1500I?

This model will provide a graceful shutdown and monitoring of critical parameters in the program APCUPSD?

[BillP]

Hi,

APCUPSD supports the SMC attached via USB. The software can be configured to power down CentOS in the event of a power failure.

Here is a list of the date points APCUPSD will display

I will buy SMC1500I for working with APCUPSD.

Thank you very much
