Nut upsuser - Sep 2007 - compatibility with Tripps SMART/OMNI/OMNISMART ?

I've having trouble understanding the NUT compatibility page.

Is it compatible with the OMNISMART300? Or the OMNI900LCD?

The compatibility page said for instance
  SMART550 -- tripplite_usb
  SmartUPS -- tripplite
  OMNI650LCD -- usbhid_ups
so I'm not sure if an OMNISMART300 is like a Smart, or a SMART, or an OMNI, 
or even if it's supported at all.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I believe the OMNI900LCD is also supported by the usbhid-ups driver,
but if you haven't seen any email messages on the list about the
OMNISMART300, then we probably haven't run across it yet.

Tripp Lite has a habit of changing hardware without changing the model
name, so the best thing to do is try the drivers.

What would also be helpful is sending some info about the device -
does it have USB ports, serial ports, etc.? What does lsusb say if the
USB port is plugged in?

Well, according to the Tripplite webpage

    http://www.tripplite.com/products/product.cfm?productID=2689

the Network monitoring port is USB (HID)interface. That rules out the
'tripplite' driver, since this is for a serial (RS232) interface. It
seems
to be a current model, so I would try the 'usbhid-ups' first (note that
you may have to specify the productid, see 'man 8 usbhid-ups' how to do
that). As Charles also wrote, the output of 'lsusb' may be useful if you
need more help.

Best regards, Arjen
