Nut upsuser - Sep 2006 - tripp lite SMART2200RMXL2U -- empty ups.status

Hello. I'm new to nut and don't know if I've missed something in
 setting it up or if my ups isn't quite supported. I'm using these:

    - svn version of nut (downloaded on 9/13/06)
    - a tripp lite SMART2200RMXL2U
    - debian sarge with 2.6.8 kernel 
    - the tripplite_usb driver (newhidups says my ups is not supported)

 I figured out how to get the device perms correct. A sample run is
 included below. Any ideas why the ups.status line is empty?

This is interesting...

That's the culprit.

I have not had much testing time with the RM2U-style UPSes, so I was
not able to map all of the status values to NUT ups.status lines.

Would you have time to do some off-line testing with this UPS, or is
it powering something mission-critical right now?

Do you know the battery configuration for this unit? I think it
translates to a nominal battery voltage of 48V (expressed in 6V
steps).

I added some more code to SVN trunk (rev 527). Let me know how it
goes. You might not want to limit it to just ups.debug, as I tried to
apply some old protocol notes to decoding the values that come back.
