Public bug reported:
The default copy of /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf contains the lines
UPSTYPE usb
DEVICE /dev/ttyS0
These are incompatible with each other. Since hardly anyone is using
/dev/ttyS0 these days to communicate with these devices, it should be
edited to
DEVICE
with a blank entry. That will force the software to auto-detect the UPS.
I kept thinking I had a bad cable or bad UPS port on the device since it
would never connect.
The comments in apcupsd.conf read:
# usb <BLANK> Most new UPSes are USB. A blank DEVICE
# setting enables autodetection, which is
# the best choice for most installations.
