[Nut-upsuser] [EXTERNAL] Re: UPS Losing Connection

[David Zomaya]

Not a whole lot to do in the field for a legitimate USB not responding issue other than verify cabling and give a power cycle and/or discharge reset a try (which, given the nature of a UPS isn't always something you can easily do of course).

If it looks like a problem with USB being completely dead, as opposed to just the "drops" issue we started with, I definitely recommend contacting support.

I plugged the USB into another host and nothing. Not in lsusb output. No
hotplug messages in the ring buffer.

So is this a busted unit? Is there anyway to reset the USB on the UPC
without power cycling everything attached to it?
