Usage
nutdrv_atcl_usb -h
nutdrv_atcl_usb -a
UPS_NAME
[OPTIONS]
Supported hardware
This driver is for UPS hardware which identifies itself as USB idVendor 0001 and idProduct 0000, and iManufacturer ATCL FOR UPS. Known manufacturers include Kanji and Plexus.
The UPS interface seems to be a generic USB-to-serial chip, and for hardware manufactured by Kanji and Plexus, the microcontroller appears to emulate a traditional contact-closure interface. This translates into only three states in ups.status: OL, OB and OB LB (similar to genericups(8)), with no other dynamic status values reported.
Note that these USB identifiers (including the iManufacturer string) have also been seen on devices that are supported by the fuji subdriver of nutdrv_qx(8), and some others.
Extra arguments
This driver supports the following optional setting:
vendor = name
In case your iManufacturer (Vendor) string does not exactly match ATCL FOR UPS, you may provide an alternate string here (or specify "NULL" if the device does not provide a vendor string but you want this driver to match).
Note that a more likely case for mismatch is that your device is handled by another driver for 0001:0000 devices, such as nutdrv_qx(8).
Note
This driver does not intend to support USB-matching settings common to other drivers, such as vendorid, product, productid, serial, device or bus; also the vendor setting supported here is not a regular expression.
