-ifdef code in apcaccess that tries to write in the shared memory buffer.

-Applied Adam’s patch for fixing the pthreads dependencies in asys.c

-Tweak the patch a bit hopefully so that OpenBSD will work.

-Made a sweep through quite a few files updating the copyright, eliminating the disclaimer (now in DISCLAIMER), and adding as many astrncpy() and astrncat()s as I could find. There still remain some drivers and the cgi code to do.

-Implemented true/false and bool. Started implementing it in many of the files I touched.

-Updated the net driver and did a fairly good testing of it.

-Made apcupsd remain in the foreground when doing a kill power.

-Eliminated some of the error messages during kill power by not doing useless things.

-Added back code to print what is happening during kill power in the USB code.

-Corrected a few of the USB error messages that could have been missleading or confusing.

-Eliminated some inappropriate usages of size_t.

-Integrated a number of updates into the manual, particularly from Adam.

-If the IP address is 0.0.0.0 force it to localhost in apcaccess.

-Integrat Thomas Habets’ changes to keep connect() from blocking in apcnet.c so that apcupsd can service more slaves.

-Ensure that stdin/out/err are allocated in daemon_start() of apcuspd.c

-Update snmp.c with bug fix from Bacula.

-Bill has made numerous changes to improve the code such as adding consts where appropriate.

----> Release 3.10.13 20Apr04

-Added code to support net snmp configured with --enable-net-snmp based on patch sent by Sander Siemonsma.

-Build smtp on Unix systems.

-Update to most current smtp and make it easier to configure for apcupsd or Bacula

-Start implementing native Win32 version.

-Rename cmd - ups_event and cmd_msg - event_msg

-Add user supplied code to make apcaccess read the conf file and self configure to proper port. Thanks to Martin Flack for this patch.

-Start simplifying the Copyright and making the dates current.

-Rework the net driver. It was really in poor shape.

-Replace sprintf with asnprint. Replace strcpy with astrncpy

-Apply a fix supplied by Jim Pick where syslog releases the usb port and then re-attaches it to /dev/log.

-I finally took a careful look at the old master/slave networking code as well as ran it here, and it was sadly broken. Hopefully this commit fixes the problems.

-Fix a few string functions using the new routines.

-Added asys.c imported from Bacula, which contains a number of simple system routines such as astrncpy(), ...

APC UPS control system manual

UPS control system specifications

APC UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) control systems are vital components for ensuring uninterrupted power supply and protecting critical equipment from power interruptions, surges, or fluctuations. Designed by Schneider Electric, APC UPS systems are renowned for their high quality and reliability. They utilize advanced technologies and features to suit diverse applications, from home offices to large industrial settings.

One of the main features of APC UPS systems is the ability to provide backup power during outages. This is achieved through a battery system that activates immediately when the mains power fails. This seamless transition minimizes downtime and ensures that electronic devices continue to operate, protecting data integrity and equipment lifespan.

Another significant characteristic of APC UPS systems is their intelligent management capabilities. Most models come with PowerChute software, which provides users with real-time monitoring of power conditions and the status of the UPS. This software allows for graceful shutdowns of connected devices during extended outages, thereby preventing data loss and damage to devices.

APC UPS systems also incorporate advanced technologies such as Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR). AVR technology ensures that the output voltage remains stable by correcting minor fluctuations without switching to battery mode. This not only prolongs the battery life but also provides a consistent power supply to the connected equipment.

Thermal management is another critical aspect of APC UPS control systems. The design often includes efficient cooling systems that prevent overheating, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the unit. Some models feature EcoMode, which reduces energy consumption and lowers operational costs by working at high efficiency only when battery backup is not required.

APC UPS systems are designed with scalability in mind. Users can easily add more batteries or connect additional UPS units to accommodate growing power needs. Features such as hot-swappable batteries and modular design facilitate easy upgrades and servicing without interrupting power supply.

In terms of connectivity, APC UPS products often feature multiple options including USB, RS-232, and network management capabilities. This enables users to connect remote management tools and integrate the UPS with existing IT infrastructure.

In summary, APC UPS control systems deliver reliability, efficiency, and advanced technology features that cater to a wide array of power protection needs, making them a trusted choice for individuals and businesses alike.
