Not a whole lot to do in the field for a legitimate USB not responding issue
other than verify cabling and give a power cycle and/or discharge reset a try
(which, given the nature of a UPS isn't always something you can easily do
of course).
If it looks like a problem with USB being completely dead, as opposed to just
the "drops" issue we started with, I definitely recommend contacting
support.

I plugged the USB into another host and nothing. Not in lsusb output. No
hotplug messages in the ring buffer.
So is this a busted unit? Is there anyway to reset the USB on the UPC
without power cycling everything attached to it?
