.SH NAME  
mge-ellipse \- Driver for MGE UPS serial SHUT Protocol UPS equipment
.SH NOTE
This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the
mge-ellipse driver.  For information about the core driver, see  
\fBnutupsdrv\fR(8).

.SH SUPPORTED HARDWARE
mge-ellipse should work with all recent MGE UPS models which use a serial
protocol  at 2400 bps, however I only tested it with a Ellipse 800S model
so at the moment only the feature found is this (low end) model are
supported.

Older models (Pulsar series) use the U-Talk protocol and should use the
mgeups driver.

.SH EXTRA ARGUMENTS
This driver supports the following optional settings in the 
\fBups.conf\fR(5):

.IP "lowbatt=\fInum\fR"
Set the low battery warning threshold at which shutdown is initiated by
\fBupsmon\fR(8).
The factory default value is 30 (in percentage).

.IP "offdelay=\fInum\fR"
Set the timer before the UPS is turned off after the kill power command is
sent (via the \fI-k\fR switch).
The factory default value is 120 (in seconds).

.IP "ondelay=\fInum\fR"
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 factory default value is 13 (in 10 seconds units).

.IP "debug=1"
logs quite a lot of debugging information to syslog.

.SH BUGS
The driver should be more generic to be able to handle the capabilities of
the whole range of MGE UPS models using the SHUT protocol.
