      I connected a UPS to an SG-3100 but am not having luck getting it configured. It is an APC Smart UPS 750 using a USB cable. dmesg shows it:

      ugen1.2: <American Power Conversion Smart-UPS 750 FWUPS 09.3 ID18> at usbus1
      uhid0 on uhub1
      uhid0: <American Power Conversion Smart-UPS 750 FWUPS 09.3 ID18, class 0/0, rev 2.00/1.06, addr 1> on usbus1

      If I try to use the USB driver I get:
      Jun 19 16:51:22 upsmon 29314 UPS Smart_UPS_750RM is unavailable

      Is there a specific configuration necessary? The info I find online is for the old serial cable Smart UPSs.
      Thanks,

        Hello!

        I had a problem getting NUT to work with an APC-BE600M1 on a sg-3100. I ended up installing the apcupsd package and it worked right away.
