|Hi Eric,

mentioned under

of

several

from a
|representative model should be sufficient.

and

between
|various generations of the hardware (for instance, at some point
the
|SMART2200RMXL2U changed from the proprietary serial-over-HID to
standard
|PDC HID).

=============


If I may make a request here for one more piece of information
requested from vendors:

Whether or not the UPS has shutdown delay that can be initiated by
NUT, i.e., I want to be able to tell the UPS to shutdown in 60
seconds so that I can shutdown the computer running NUT before the
UPS kills power.  It would be great if the number of seconds in the
shutdown delay could be configured within NUT.
