Topic: UPS problem (Solved)

[del]

I didnt get any response by adding this to my previous post (http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,43343.0.html) so I thought I would start a new thread. So here is my question:
Before I rush and buy another UPS for my server (I've already returned 2  ) I thought I would try the APC Back-UPS ES550 that is connected to a windows machine. But I couldn't get it work so maybe this is me doing something wrong rather than the UPS's not being compatible 
I did:

lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 051d:0002 American Power Conversion Uninterruptible Power Supply
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 04a9:107f Canon, Inc. i860
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

then:

config show nut
nut=service
    MasterPass=998638045365574
    Model=usbhid-ups
    SlavePass=753638089762791
    status=enabled

and:

upsc UPS@localhost
Error: Connection failure: Connection refused

Am I missing something?
Thanks.

This sounds like a nut issue - either file a bug in the tracker or see what you can find on the NUT website.
