tripplite_usb - Driver for Tripp Lite USB-based UPS equipment

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

This driver should work with the OMNISV1000, OMNISV1500XL and SMART1500RM2U UPSes, which are detected as USB HID-class devices (but are not true HID Power-Device Class devices). Other Tripp Lite USB models may work - please report success or failure to the nut-upsuser mailing list. A key piece of information is the protocol number. Also, be sure to turn on debugging (CW-DDD) for more informative log messages. If your Tripp Lite UPS uses a serial port, you may wish to investigate the tripplite(8) or tripplite_su(8) driver.

This driver supports the following optional setting in the ups.conf(5) file (or with CW-x on the command line):

offdelay

This setting controls the delay between receiving the kill command (CW-k) and actually cutting power to the computer.

bus

This regular expression is used to match the USB bus (as seen in CW/proc/bus/usb/devices).

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.

productid

The productid is a regular expression which matches the UPS PID as four hexadecimal digits. Only CW0001 has been observed for Tripp Lite USB UPSes.

serial

So far, it does not appear that Tripp Lite UPSes use the iSerial descriptor field to return a serial number. However, in case your unit does, you may specify it here.

For more information on regular expressions, see regex(7)

ups.delay.shutdown

This variable is the same as the CWoffdelay setting, but it can be changed at runtime by upsrw(8).

The driver was not developed with any official documentation from Tripp Lite, so certain events may confuse the driver. If you observe any strange behavior, please re-run the driver with CW-DDD to increase the verbosity.

So far, the Tripp Lite UPSes do not seem to have any serial number or other unique identifier accessible through USB. Therefore, you are limited to one Tripp Lite USB UPS per system (and in practice, this driver will not play well with other USB UPSes, either).
