to complete Jim's answer (you should really try 2.7.4):
* as per NUT HCL, recent Powercom units are supported through USB with
usbhid-ups, so that path is still to be followed
http://networkupstools.org/stable-hcl.html?manufacturer=Powercom

* the actual issue is around "Unable to get Report descriptor: Input/output
error"
I'd be interested in a test in debug level 5 (i.e. -DDDDD) to get a bit
more visibility

cheers
