Some time ago I acquired an APC "Back-UPS XS 1000" uninterruptible power supply. I am trying to make it work with SME v7.1.2 and not sure that I have it right. I followed the basic idea of:

omitting config setprop nut Device /dev/ttyS1
as this device is usb.
From this site, http://www.networkupstools.org/compat/stable.html
, I tried apcsmart, which did not work and then tried newhidups and hidups with results similar to below:
[root@myserver /]# config setprop nut status enabled
[root@myserver /]# config setprop nut Model newhidups
[root@myserver /]# config show nut
nut=service
MasterPass=iGBD1WcOPITLh4B+DYFraCb246ZTT8qDlxDpfITLJDCgOwbRb/R4rNfKJEuhm0OuqJdSh9fuYLSS

[root@myserver /]# expand-template /etc/ups/upsd.conf
[root@myserver /]# upsc UPS@myserver
Error: Connection failure: Connection refused
So it looks like it is working but I'm out of my depth (which is actually kind of shallow).
Any comments on the lines with MasterPass=* and SlavePass=*??
Thx in advance for your help.

So it looks like it is working but I'm out of my depth (which is actually kind of shallow).
After you made your config and expand changes it looks like you forgot to restart the service for example "/etc/rc7.d/S**nut restart" where ** is a number(s)
If that don't work report to the bug tracker as the motto is "It should just work" if it doesn't report it. Thanks!

Search the bug tracker for hints on that!

Thx for quick reply.
I will look in the bugtracker. EDIT "Zarro Boogs found. "
Regarding After you made your config and expand changes it looks like you forgot to restart the service for example "/etc/rc7.d/S**nut restart" where ** is a number(s)
I'm not familiar with linux so I'm a bit "dull" on these things. I looked in my rc7.d folder and found a file "S15nut" so that would make ** = 15.
So then the command to restart would be simply
/etc/rc7.d/S15nut?
Thx in advance for your confirmation.

Hey thanks, got it. Here are my results. Not sure about the ups.delay.shutdown = -1, sounds kind of like a wrong number, any comments.
