LIEBERT-GXE(8)

✨ LIEBERT-GXE ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about liebert-gxe — the driver for Liebert GXE series UPS, using the YDN23 serial protocol 🦋

(also btw this whole page lives in section 8 of the NUT manual, iykyk 💅)

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

liebert-gxe -h

liebert-gxe -a UPS_NAME [OPTIONS]

note bestie 📝 — this man page only spills the tea on the hardware-specific features of the liebert-gxe driver. For all the core driver lore, go read nutupsdrv(8). periodt.

🔥 SUPPORTED HARDWARE 🔥

Tested and confirmed to work on these absolute icons:

• Liebert GXE 01k00TS1101C00

note 💖 — this UPS has an RS-232 port and a USB port. The USB port has an ACM interface which functions as a serial port for the host operating system. Both ports can be used managing the device. choices, choices, we love to see it 👑

so yeah — this is an experimental driver. You have been warned. 🙈 no cap.

---

💅 EXTRA ARGUMENTS 💅

This driver supports the following optional settings in ups.conf(5):

• addr=num — set the address of the UPS, ranging from 01 (the default, obvs) all the way up to 99 ⭐
• retry=num — set the max times of read failures. (here's the vibe: the UPS sometimes ignores the incoming command and causes driver stales 😭. The driver will ignore retry failures if occurred in a row. However, this does increase the latency if a real stale happened. Defaults to 3)
