Nut upsuser - Oct 2005 - Newbie with NUT and his new APC Back-UPS XS BX1500

Hello!

I installed NUT with "apt-get install nut" (v2.0.2-1). I hooked the
new APC Back-UPS XS BX1500
unit to the Debian (Kernel 2.6.12-1-K7) computer with the provided USB cable
(has an ethernet
jack on the end connected to UPS) and ran dmesg command:

usb 1-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -110
usbcore: registered new driver hiddev
hiddev96: USB HID v1.10 Device [American Power Conversion Back-UPS RS 1500
FW:8.g8 .D USB FW:g8]
on usb-0000:00:10.0-2
usbcore: registered new driver usbhid
drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.01:USB HID core driver


I assume this is a good sign. :) Now, how do I configure this to give me status
and options? I
do not have a /etc/nut/ups.conf file. Sorry if this sounds like a newbie since I
am new to this.
Is there a GUI to configure this? Reading http://www.networkupstools.org/ for
its FAQ,
documentations, etc. wasn't new user friendly to me. Maybe I am not reading
the right places? I
was hoping I did not have to configure much like Windows XP Pro. SP2's
autodetection and
configuration which worked before I did Linux part. :(

Thank you in advance. :)
