nowhere. As stated in the above trace, this model isn't yet handled (based
on its string ID).

The "problem" with fentonups is that you need to fill a struct (modeltab or
mtab2) with:
- the above string ID (simple part),
- several data to allow calculation of data such as the Low Battery level,
...

Have a look at that file, and if you can, make some testing:
http://cvs.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/nut/drivers/fentonups.h?rev=1.1.1.1.8.1.2.1&content-type=text/plain&cvsroot=nut

If you want your UPS to be supported, you'll have to hack a bit yourself...
