NUT Server Installation 1. Installing the nut package, should add the nut user and group. If it doesn’t, you have to add those manually. sudo apt-get install nut 2. Make the USB-Device accessible by NUT lsusb output: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 051d:0003 American Power Conversion UPS 3.

Activate udevadm control --reload-rules udevadm trigger ups.conf [ups] driver = usbhid-ups port = auto pollonly desc = "ups" The label in the square brackets can be anything. It identifies the UPS to upsd and upsmon. Find your UPS model on the NUT hardware compatibility list and substitute the corresponding driver for usbhid- ups above. If your UPS isn’t listed, find similar ones. They probably use the same driver. If you have a USB-based UPS, you can leave the port as auto; it’s ignored. Note: if you are connecting a Synology NAS to your NUT setup, then the label in square brackets must be named ups.
