 ====== NUT (Network UPS Tool) ======
 Instruction for installation of Network UPS Tools (NUT) on fun_plug v 0.5. These instructions are based on information found at the Network UPS Tool website ([[http://networkupstools.org/doc/2.2.0/INSTALL.html]]).
+====== Summary ======
+The primary goal of the Network UPS Tools (NUT) project is to provide reliable monitoring of UPS and PDU hardware and ensure safe shutdowns of the systems which are connected.
+We attempt to monitor every kind of UPS and PDU, given sufficient interest.  Summary from [[http://networkupstools.org|NUT project page]].
 ===== Getting Started =====
-==== What's Needed ====
-A DNS323 with Fun_Plug 0.5 installed.
-A functional telnet connection.
+==== What's Needed ====
 Successful installation of NUT requires three packages from fonz's website ([[http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/0.5/packages/]]). They are;
   * libusb-0.1.12-1.tgz;
   * neon-0.25.5-1.tgz and;
   * nut-2.2.2-3.tgz
+=== Assumptions ===
+DNS323 is operating with Firmware version 1.05 or 1.06 (Installation has not been tested with other firmware versions).
+Fun_Plug 0.5 installed and operable.
+A functional telnet connection.

 ==== Add Driver Configuration Detail ====
-Prior to modifying the ups.conf file you'll need to determine which driver is used with your specific UPS. A UPS hardware compatibility list is located on the [[http://www.networkupstools.org/compat/stable.html|Network UPS Tools]] website. Review this list to determine which driver is required for your specific application. Please note these instructions pertain specifically to USB connected UPS.

 Use your favourite editor (I use Notepad++) to open the ups.conf file, enter and subsequently save your specific settings.

 ====== Automating the Startup Process ======
 You can Telnet to the DNS323 each time you want to start NUT or use a startup script. The following can be added to a nut.sh script file and stored in the /ffp/start directory by copying the content of the code box into your favourite editor then saving the resultant file as /ffp/start/nut.sh.
+Use this script for DNS323 firmware versions prior to 1.07.
