[Nut-upsuser] Two identical UPS's on USB - how to diferentiate?

Hi,

I have two identical UPS's on USB bus. The original machine I was going
to use for UPS monitoring only had had USB bus, so these two UPS's were
seen like that:

Bus 001 Device 009: ID 14f0:00c9 
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 14f0:00c9

There was no description on the right side either. If I used the
'verbose' flag, both UPS's had the exact same output...

I since replaced the machine and used one with two USB buses, so my
problem is fixed...

But if I couldn't do that, is there any way to distinguish between the
two in 'ups.conf'?

PS: Since I have about an hour of battery running time and a generator,
the plan is not to shutdown any machine, but to manually start the
generator. That's why I have just one hosts monitoring both UPS's and
alerting the responsible person via SMS / GSM.
