During the last month, I've been integrating a Powerware 5115 into an embedded system by writing a custom NUT daemon. This work has gone quite well and NUT has been very helpful, but it sure would be nice to have some additional instcmds for the 5115. The bcmxcp driver comments mention "manuals for the BCM/XCP". I'm wondering if I could get a copy of those so that I might explore enhancing the bcmxcp drivers to support more instcmds.

By running the driver with debug /path/to/bcmxcp -DD -a <ups> -u root You get some info about the different block length. If you come up with something, I would be glad to put it into the driver. One thing to keep in mind, is that not all ups'es running the bcmxcp handle all commands so well. Regards /Kjell
