[Arnaud Quette]

Hi Matt,

first, note that Russell (Kroll) is retired for long.
Support request should go to the NUT Users list, which needs subscription.

it has been added to the trunk (development release) after the 2.4.3

I do have some questions:

yes


> 2) the manufacturer feature list for this device indicates that there

> factory management software ought to be able to bring up/down loads 1,
> 2, or 3 independently.  I don't see a mechanism/exposure of this in NUT.

if your UPS *and* your driver support outlets, then you have an outlet
collection displayed, part of the data.

a debug output of the driver is also needed:
$ sudo /lib/nut/usbhid-ups -D -a <upsname>
after having stopped the running instance (using "sudo upsdrvctl stop")
you'll get a dump of the data, then a "Detected..." message where you can
break.

cheers,
Arnaud
