Nut upsuser - Sep 2012 - Support for Tripp-Lite AVRX550U

Since version 2.0.5 the AVR550U is supported. The X version however is not. The
difference, as far as I can see, is the voltage 120V (non-X) vs 230V (X).

Is there a way to fake the productid of the X version? Or, alternatively will
the X version be supported in the future?

Trying to match device
This Tripp Lite device (09ae:1009) is not (or perhaps not yet) supported by
usbhid-ups. Please make sure you have an up-to-date version NUT. If this does
not fix the problem, try running the driver with the '-x productid=1009'
option.

Tested NUT versions 2.2.2 & 2.4.1 on a QNAP NAS

The error message speaks for itself: "Please make sure you have an
up-to-date version NUT." Latest is version 2.6.5.

If that is not an option: "If this does not fix the problem, try running
the driver with the '-x productid=1009' option."

It appears that this product ID was added in NUT 2.6.0.
