SMS_SER(8)

💖 SMS_SER(8) — the NUT Manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, sit down, grab a boba, because we're talking about sms_ser, a driver from the NUT (Network UPS Tools) manual. yes it's section 8. yes it's giving "system administration" energy. no you may not skip it. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

sms_ser — the Driver for SMS UPS Protocol 1Phase. that's it, that's the whole name. iconic. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

sms_ser -h

sms_ser -a UPS_NAME [OPTIONS]

so like, two whole moods: either you ask for help, or you actually run the thing with a UPS name and whatever options you feel like. main character energy honestly. 🌸

Note — real talk, this man page is only about the hardware-specific features of the sms_ser driver. for the core driver lore you wanna go read nutupsdrv(8), and if you want the technical background you gotta check the docs/sms-brazil-protocol.txt file in the NUT sources. iykyk. 📚

Note — because this protocol is so close to the Megatec Qx family (like, siblings fr fr), this driver may later become part of the nutdrv_qx collection. glow-up pending?? we'll see. 🙈

✨ SUPPORTED HARDWARE ✨

sms_ser supports only the "sms 1phase" SMS Product, exactly as described in the monofasico.xml file that ships with the device. that's the one. the only one. 💀

and the other SMS protocols (the ones for their other products)? not supported by this driver. not even a little bit. don't come for her with your other hardware, she will not answer. 🚫
