Nut upsuser - Aug 2009 - Have an older Back-UPS Pro 1400(BP1400) can't get detailed info.

I just installed nut, and I it is detected but I don't get any usefull
information.   I have the serial cable that came with it which is a
940-0024C and I tried setting that in the driver, but no difference.  What
can I do to get stuff like battery voltage and such?
Thanks,
Brian

I would suggest upgrading to the latest source release (2.4.1, or even
the SVN trunk) if possible - a lot of tables are hardcoded in that
driver, and you may need to tweak the source code to get things right.

At the very least, check how your OS/distro is starting NUT (ps
auxwww|grep apcsmart) and re-run the command with a single "-D"
parameter. The resulting debug output should give us an idea as to how
it is detecting your UPS' capabilities.
