If your UPS isn't handled natively by the '''usbhid-ups''' driver, or you need to set options, start with [https://networkupstools.org/docs/man/ups.conf.html the ups.conf documentation] for more details.
 
== Start & test ==
* <code>sudo upsdrvctl start</code>
 
You should see:
 
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.7.4
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.41 (2.7.4)

You can determine your servers IP address using:

* <code>sudo vi /etc/nut/upsd.conf</code>
LISTEN '''192.168.2.219'''
LISTEN 127.0.0.1 3493
LISTEN ::1 3493
Where '''192.168.2.219''' should be replaced with the actual IP of the machine.

    upsmon master
