The protocol page at http://www.networkupstools.org/protocols/apcsmart.html just says under 'x' that it's a "Writable variable" and "This holds whatever the user sets in it, much like the UPS local id variable". The SmartSlot management card also has a menu entry to set the battery date. Having said that, we have never bothered setting the date when we have changed batteries. -- Dr George D M Ross, School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh 10 Crichton Street, Edinburgh, Scotland, EH8 9AB Mail: [email protected] Voice: +44 131 650 5147 Fax: +44 131 650 6899 PGP: 1024D/AD758CC5 B91E D430 1E0D 5883 EF6A 426C B676 5C2B AD75 8CC5 The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.
