Synopsis
tripplite_usb -h
tripplite_usb -a UPS_NAME [OPTIONS]
Supported Hardware
This driver should work with older Tripp Lite UPSes which are detected as USB HID-class devices, but are not true HID Power-Device Class devices. So far,the devices supported by tripplite_usb have product ID 0001, and the newer units (such as those with 'LCD' in the model name) with product ID 2001 require theusbhid-ups(8) driver instead. Please report success or failure to the nut-upsuser mailing list. A key piece of information is the protocol number,returned in ups.debug.0. Also, be sure to turn on debugging (-DDD) for more informative log messages. If your Tripp Lite UPS uses a serial port, you maywish to investigate the tripplite(8) or tripplite_su(8) driver.
This driver has been tested with the following models:
- tripplite_usb will work if it uses one of thefollowing protocols:
- • Protocol 0004
- • Protocol 1001
- • Protocol 2001
- • Protocol 3003
- On the other hand, if the web page for your UPS on the Tripp-Lite website says 'HID-compliant USB port also enables direct integration with built-in powermanagement and auto-shutdown features of Windows and MAC OS X', then you should use the usbhid-ups(8) driver instead.
Extra Arguments
This driver supports the following optional settings in the ups.conf(5) file (or with -x on the command line):
offdelay
Tripp Lite Serial Number Lookup 2327976
This regex is matched against the full USB product string as seen in lsusb(8). The ups.model in the upsc(1) output only lists the name afterTRIPP LITE, so to match a SMART2200RMXL2U, you could use the regex .*SMART2200.*.
Runtime Variables
ups.delay.shutdown
So far, the Tripp Lite UPSes do not seem to have a serial number or other globally unique identifier accessible through USB. Thus, when monitoring severalTripp Lite USB UPSes, you should use either the bus or product configuration options to uniquely specify which UPS a given driver instance shouldcontrol.
For instance, you can easily monitor an OMNIVS1000 and a SMART1500RM2U at the same time, since they have different USB Product ID strings. If you have twoSMART1500RM2U units, you would have to find which USB bus number each unit is on (via lsusb(8)), which may result in ambiguities if the available USB ports areon the same bus.
Some of the SMART*2U models have an ID number, but because this ID is not exposed as a USB string descriptor, there is no easy way to use this ID todistinguish between multiple UPS units on a single machine. The UPS would need to be claimed by the driver in order to read this ID.
