Public bug reported:
The /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf lists this:
# To get apcupsd to work, in addition to defining the cable
# above, you must also define a UPSTYPE, which corresponds to
# the type of UPS you have (see the Description for more details).
# You must also specify a DEVICE, sometimes referred to as a port.
# For USB UPSes, please leave the DEVICE directive blank. For
# other UPS types, you must specify an appropriate port or address.
However uncommented immediately below is:
UPSTYPE usb
DEVICE /dev/ttyS0
This should be
UPSTYPE usb
DEVICE
Without this change apcaccess shows status as COMMLOST.
With it I'm getting a proper connection with apcaccess shows a status of
ONLILNE.
(Currently using an APC Back-UPS RS 1500MS)
