^ What Linux distribution are you running?

I really don't see how this could happen when specifying that productid option.

I don't remember any recent bug fixes that could cause things to work differently if you add "productid=2010" to the ups.conf file, but that was reported to work with 2.4.3 in this email:

  http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/nut-upsuser/2011-March/006695.html

That email also confirms that the 2010 productid does, in fact, work out-of-the-box with 2.6.0.

Other than trying the ups.conf route, I would recommend getting a newer version of NUT (this version is over four years old), either through your distribution's "backports" system, or by building from source. Again, since you haven't mentioned what system you are running, I don't have any more specific recommendations than that.
