I've made some progress getting this Tripplite to work:

Basically, plug it into a USB hub that actually implements USB2.0,
then
power cycle the port when it hangs. It does seem to be a hardware
problem with the USB controller.
Finally an idea;-) I had the same problem for a couple of years but
since I use a [1st gen] appleTV as the server, I thought it might be
it's USB port.
I bought a `plugable USB2-HUB-AG7' and experimented a bit. So far, I
did not get it to turn the power to devices completely off:-( But the
unbind/bind seems affect the devices somehow. I tried it with a
little Sparkfun RedBoard (Arduino clone) and when I [re]bind, the
RX/TX LEDs flash shortly, so it seems to reinitialize it's USB-Serial
chip. Maybe that's enough?
The same TX/RX LED flashing happens with the hub-ctrl power off->on;-)
OK, the USB hub is now installed between the aTV & USP ;-) Let's see
what happens next.
I also bought a USB2-HUB-AG7, but the new black version (of the *same*
model# - arrrrgggghhhh) no longer implements PPPS. Only the old silver
version does. What is the point of a model# if you can't count on the
functionality?
Mine even says v1 on the type sticker:-( but it's black as well. So I'll
see how things behave once I loose the UPS connection and do a `hub-ctrl
power off->on'. I'm not really interested in the power off, just in the
reset;-)
If that does not work, I'll probably try a Arduino-based power-switch
cable. Since it now looks like it's really the UPS, I can actually think
about different ways.
Thanks,
