[Nut-upsuser] Trouble Configuring NUT with Gamatronic USB

[Eli Wapniarski]

Yeah... I've been doing that I'll try going down the list again, but the best

ups.status: LB OL

After unplugging the ups from the wall, and waiting more than 5 seconds, which 
is the polling frequency in my upsmon.conf the status doesn't change.
