Hi all,<br>
<br>
I am completely new to NUT and setting up a UPS shut down in Linux.
I am looking at buying a APC Smart-UPS X 3000. When I look this
device up in the compatibility list this specific model is not
listed, only a generic entry for "Smart-UPS". It says to use the <b>apcsmart</b>
driver. The legend shows this as "protocol based on reverse
engineering". What does this mean in terms of using the driver?
Can I expect to get this working to shut down my Debian servers
gracefully or is it a bad idea to use a UPS with only this driver?<br>
<br>
Have users on this list experience with a similar Smart-UPS? Is it
going to be compatible with NUT or should I be looking for a
different UPS that is supported with one of the other drivers?<br>
<br>
Sincerely<br>
