        InitAPC for "PowerChute for OS/2" ver 0001



Description:

InitAPC is a tiny program that allows the use of the "PowerChute for OS/2" software
in conjuction with an 940-0095B cable type.


Requirements:

    . An APC's UPS model supporting "Smart signaling" mode (ex: BackUPS Pro, SmartUPS).
    . A cable number 940-0095B (aka PNP cable).
    . The "PowerChute for OS/2" software.


Installation:

Copy the program to any desired location and make sure that "INITAPC.EXE <serial_device>"
runs BEFORE the APC daemon UPSD.EXE. The argument <serial_device> must be one of your
serial port device (COM1, COM2, etc) attached to your UPS unit.


Notes:

INITAPC.EXE has been tested only on the following UPS models:

    . APC BackUPS Pro 650
    . APC BackUPS Pro 420

INITAPC.EXE will not work if you use the latest Ray Gwinn's SIO2K beta driver. I'll try
to fix it as soon as I can.
