Note | This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the liebert-esp2 driver. For information about the core driver, see nutupsdrv(8).

## SPECIAL CABLING NOTE

Be aware that an RS-232 cable with ONLY the RX, TX and ground pin must be used when interfacing with GXT2 series UPS units (and possibly others), since the handshaking lines are used for purposes other than RS-232 flow control.

Use of a standard RS-232 cable with full handshaking may result in undesired operation and/or shutdown. It is therefore advisable to confirm the proper cable/wiring with the diagram provided in the manual with your UPS.
