# liebert-gxe(8)

Driver for Liebert GXE series UPS, using the YDN23 serial protocol

## NAME

liebert-gxe - Driver for Liebert GXE series UPS, using the YDN23 serial protocol

## SYNOPSIS

**liebert-gxe** -h

**liebert-gxe** -a *UPS\_NAME* \[*OPTIONS*\]

**Note**\

This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the liebert-gxe driver. For information about the core driver, see [**nutupsdrv**(8)](/nutupsdrv/8.md).

## SUPPORTED HARDWARE

Tested to work on the following units:

• 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.

This is an experimental driver. You have been warned.

## EXTRA ARGUMENTS

This driver supports the following optional settings in [**ups.conf**(5)](/ups.conf/5.md):

**addr=***num*

Set the address of the UPS — 01 (default) ~ 99.

**retry=***num*

Set the max times of read failures. (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. Default to 3)
