Upgrade to nut-2.4.2. All versions prior to that are broken with the  
MGE and/or Eaton Ellipse series UPS. The problem is specific to the  
Ellipse series and was fixed only recently. Other than upgrading,  
there is nothing you can do about it.

No. You may want to try newmge-shut instead, which uses the same  
driver core as usbhid-ups but with a serial interface instead of USB.  
Since this isn't affected by the USB issues that cause the usbhid-ups  
driver to disconnect, this will not suffer from the disconnect problems.

> - Why the ups is not responding after a reboot? Serial initialization?

Most likely a permissions problem or some other program keeps the  
serial port locked.
