tripplite_usb - Driver for older Tripp Lite USB UPSes (not PDC HID)

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 several Tripp Lite USB UPSes, you should use either the bus or product configuration options to uniquely specify which UPS a given driver instance should control. Tripp Lite USB to RS485/RS422 FTDI Serial Adapter Cable, COM Retention, USB-A to DB9 M/M, Compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux, 30 in. Tripp Lite USB to Serial Adapter 5ft U209-000-R This Tripp-Lites USB to Serial Adapter Cable enables a RS-232 serial device to be connected to a.

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

This setting controls the delay between receiving the 'kill' command (-k) and actually cutting power to the computer.
bus
This regular expression is used to match the USB bus (as seen in /proc/bus/usb/devices or lsusb(8); including leading zeroes).
product
A regular expression to match the product string for the UPS. This would be useful if you have two different Tripp Lite UPS models connected to the system,and you want to be sure that you shut them down in the correct order.
Note

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.*.

productid
The productid is a regular expression which matches the UPS PID as four hexadecimal digits. So far, the only devices that work with this driver have PID0001.
serial
It does not appear that these particular Tripp Lite UPSes use the iSerial descriptor field to return a serial number. However, in case your unit does, youmay specify it here.
