If you leave off the "-d 051d:" part, do you see anything in the
listing that looks like it could be the UPS? (The 051d vendor ID is
for the vast majority of APC UPS models, but we have seen a few other
IDs here and there - mostly from acquisitions.)
For instance, this is what one of my development boxes shows for a
Smart-UPS C1000:
[...]
Another thing to try is to unplug the USB cable, run something like
"dmesg -w" ("-w" to follow the output; otherwise just run "dmesg |
tail" afterwards) and see if you see any messages about new USB
devices after you re-insert the USB cable. If the Linux kernel can't
see the device, neither can NUT.
It's not detected at all. I should have said that at first.
Maybe it's not a standard ethernet-to-UPS cable?
That's Ben's point - either it is actual Ethernet (usually found on an
add-on UPS SNMP monitoring card, where the jack typically has two
status LEDs, one on either side of the notch for the modular plug tab)
that needs to go to another Ethernet jack on a NIC or a switch, or it
is a proprietary APC cable that vaguely resembles an Ethernet cable on
one end. (I was incorrect when I said 8P8C before - MGE uses 8P8C
modular jacks for similar USB/serial proprietary cables.)
It might be this 10-pin modular connector:

Correction to my correction: apparently APC uses both 8-pin and 10-pin
modular jacks.
The SmartUPS C1000 has a 10-pin jack labeled serial (and the
industry-standard USB Type B jack for USB, hooray), but for your
models, a few images online seem to show an 8-pin jack labeled "data
port" for the BackUPS Pro 1000 and BackUPS NS 1080.
But these eight-pin ones aren't actually ethernet? If not, I hope APC
sells extras...
