Hello Pavel,

I don't see any obvious issue in your configuration (although you might
consider adapting the SHUTDOWNCMD variable in upsmon.conf for Windows).

My first question is : what is your Windows version, and is it a 32 bits
or 64 bits system ?

Then, from what I understand, you might have an issue with the libUSB
driver. Can you make sure you see an entry in the "Device Manager"
called "libusb-win32 devices". Under this entry you should have a "NUT
USB driver" sub entry.

If there is no such entry, please make sure your UPS is connected to
your host and run "C:\Program Files\NUT\others\wdi-simple.exe". there
should be a console windows saying it is installing a driver.

If you see the libusb entry in the "Device Manager", we need more input.
Please stop NUT from the "Start" menu, then in consoles windows, run:
C:\Program Files\NUT\bin\bcmxcp_usb.exe -a PW5115 -D
C:\Program Files\NUT\sbin\upsd.exe
C:\Program Files\NUT\sbin\upsmon.exe

And sent us the resulting logs !

Fred
