Not all UPS's are supported by USB or the newhidups driver, refer to: http://www.networkupstools.org/compat/stable.html to find the configuration details for your model of UPS.
Not all UPS's are supported by USB or the newhidups driver. However NUT supports many UPS's and can be configured under SME Server easily.
===Serial Connection===
<ol></li><li>Find the configuration details for your model of UPS. Refer to: http://www.networkupstools.org/compat/stable.html and make note of the driver name and upstype number (if any) in the third column.
{{Warning box|Always use the serial cable supplied with the UPS. Standard serial cables won't work with a serial UPS and have been known to cause damage to the UPS. Pay particular attention to any references to cable in in the UPS Model column.}}
</li><li>From the consol issue the following commands:
config setprop nut Model <model>
config setprop nut Model genericups
config setprop nut Device <device>
config setprop nut Device /dev/ttyS0
config setprop nut Type <type>
config setprop nut Type 7
config setprop nut status enabled
config setprop nut status enabled
Where:<br>
<model> and <type> are the driver name and type number found above.<br>
<device> is the serial port that the UPS is connected to eg. /dev/ttyS0. It also possible to use a more readable symlink. See [[:Udev - symlinks | HowTo on udev - symlinks]] for details.
Note: The case of Model, Device and Type.
