here is all the active lines in ups.conf.
[myups]
         driver = "usbhid-ups" #"pollonly"
         port = "auto"
         vendorid = "051D"
         productid = "0003"
         product = "Smart-UPS_1500 FW:UPS 03.5 / ID=1015"
         serial = "3S1906X11389"
         vendor = "American Power Conversion"
         bus = "001"
#       pollonly
#       cable = 1234
#       desc = "Something descriptive"
Nothing else is uncommented. And its (upsc) working if that is commented 
as above..
