Both devices have a different 'vendorid', which is one of the regular  
expressions (see 'man 8 usbhid-ups') we use for device matching. This  
makes them uniquely identifiable. If you add another APC and/or  
CyberPower device, you'll have to add additional regular expressions  
since the 'vendorid' alone will usually be the same for devices from  
the same vendor.
