Nut upsuser - Aug 2016 - Seriously confused...

Hi all,

  My apologies if this has been asked, but is there anyone who would be willing
  to help me figure out what to 'edit' in what and which (all?)
'.conf' files
  in /etc/nut to be able to use my new Tripp Lite Smart1300LCD please?

  I have/need just the most basic setup. It's only me using my computer and
only
  this one computer and a few peripherals being used on the UPS.

  Here's some info:

OS: Slackware Linux 14.2 x86_64
UPS: Tripp Lite Smart1300LCD
nut version: 2.7.4 (from the tarball source)

  I've no clue how to get things like 'port' or device driver being
used, etc.
  I'm using the usb cable for communication, if that helps anything.

  If any other information is needed, please holler out at me and I'll get
on it.

  Thanks for any help with this,

	JB

The closest driver in our compatibility list is the SMART1300LCDT (not sure what
the "T" suffix means):

http://networkupstools.org/ddl/Tripp_Lite/SMART1300LCDT.html

The driver for nearly all of the USB models is usbhid-ups. On the man page it
shows example "ups.conf" fragments:

http://networkupstools.org/docs/man/usbhid-ups.html#_implementation

it mentions that this driver ignores the "port" parameter (but other
parts of NUT still need it set to something unique).
