I added the productid into the ups.conf file and it has made some progress. Now when I run upsdrvctl start, it shows Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.4.3 Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.34 (2.4.3) USB communication driver 0.31 Using subdriver: TrippLite HID 0.4 But when I run "upsc tripp" (I named the power supply tripp in the ups.conf file), it tells me this: Error: Connection failure: Connection refused
Any more thoughts?
