Summary: Update to belkin driver to fix datastale reports 
Category: None
Group: None
Resolution: Works For Me


Initial Comment:
Due to the belkin driver requiring responses that contain more than 7 bytes, the response "~00R000" was being rejected and causing a data stale report.

It appears that if the the UPS gets flooded with commands, it returns "~00R000". The patch has fixed this behaviour by allowing for this response. It also allows up to three invalid response before a data stale status is set (similar to the blazer driver).

This patch also included the changes to report the beeper status, as submitted in PR #312767.

I've been using this patch for the last four days and have seen no unusual behaviour, other than than not receiving so many data stale messages in the syslog, (which especially would occur when running a test, or changing the beeper status).
