According to the nut compatible list your model doesn't appear there, therefore not supported
Several of us have been figuring out the inter-workings of SME for over 3 years. One of our main focuses was to
get NUT to work with many different UPS's. We've tried serial and usb both and have had much more success with
serial connected units. We've scoured the internet, tried different distro's of linux to prove the posted how-to's work
and have come to the following conclusion:
Very few of the APC versions we tested using usb would actually be found using the "lsusb" command (even when the models
were shown to be supported). We tried them on older motherboards with usb 1.0 or 1.1 and the newer usb 2.0 boards as well.
(no endorsement intended) Belkin has several products which connect with serial cables, come with an outstanding warranty, and the
replacement batteries are widely available. They master-slave very well even on a network where using the bulldog plus software for other
attached UPS's. Can be managed / monitored with snmp. They just simply work!
take a look at their "rack-mount" style 1250 and 1500 models....that is all we run and they aren't that expensive.
A couple of db commands, a signal-event post-upgrade and reboot is all it takes. The batteries are testing good and
working well even after 3 years!
Good luck
