11 The primary goal of the Network UPS Tools (NUT) project is to provide support
12 for Power Devices, such as Uninterruptible Power Supplies, Power Distribution
13 Units and Solar Controllers.
15 NUT provides many control and monitoring <<Features,features>>, with a uniform
16 control and management interface.
18 More than 100 different manufacturers, and several thousands models are
21 This software is the combined effort of many
22 <<Acknowledgements,individuals and companies>>.
24 This document intend to describe how to install software support for your
25 <<general_powerdev_info, Power Devices>> (UPS, PDU, ...), and how to use the
26 NUT project. It is not intended to explain what are, nor distinguish the
27 different technologies that exist. For such information, have a look at the
28 <<general_powerdev_info,General Power Devices Information>>.

44 Compatibility information
45 -------------------------
50 The current list of hardware supported by NUT can be viewed <<HCL,here>>.
55 This software has been reported to run on:
57 - Linux distributions,
66 There is also a port of the client-side monitoring to Windows called WinNUT.
67 Windows users may be able to build it directly with Cygwin.
69 Your system will probably run it too. You just need a good C compiler and
70 possibly some more packages to gain access to the serial ports.
71 Other features, such as USB / SNMP / whatever, will also need extra software
74 Success reports are welcomed to keep this list accurate.
