Nut upsuser - Nov 2014 - upsonic IRT1000 on ubuntu 14.04lts

Can someone give me a push in the right direction with this?  I'm trying to
get an upsonic IRT1000 to work on ubuntu 14.04lts using the usb connection.  
The most likely drivers (blazer_usb and usbhid-ups) don't seem to recognize
it or I've got the configuration parameters wrong.  I've got no idea
what driver it actually wants though there's an old thread that seems to
have got it to work with snmp by adding an snmp card to it.

Thanks for any info,

Klint.

get an upsonic IRT1000 to work on ubuntu 14.04lts using the usb connection.  
The most likely drivers (blazer_usb and usbhid-ups) don?t seem to recognize it
or I?ve got the configuration parameters wrong.  I?ve got no idea what driver it
actually wants though there?s an old thread that seems to have got it to work
with snmp by adding an snmp card to it.
I suspect it's handled by blazer_usb (or nutdrv_qx, which will eventually
supersede the blazer* drivers). My heuristic is that the wDescriptorLength in
the lsusb output (47) is too short to be parsed by usbhid-ups (so the UPS
probably has a built-in USB-to-serial converter).

I am surprised that the blazer_usb configuration didn't work. If you leave
off the matching options, does this find the UPS?

^ Should match here.

I am not sure if the Ubuntu packages include a proper entry for this UPS (since
a vendorID of 0xFFFF isn't valid). Can you check to see if there is
something like this at the end of /etc/udev/rules.d/*-nut-usbups.rules?

ATTR{idVendor}=="ffff", ATTR{idProduct}=="0000",
MODE="664", GROUP="nut"

If so, was the UPS USB cable plugged in before or after the package was
installed? I think a lot of the packages are missing a post-install command to
reload udev, so the workaround is to plug the USB cable in again after
installation.

Yes, for ubuntu 14.04 it's in /lib/udev/rules.d.
#  Ablerex 625L USB  - blazer_usb
ATTR{idVendor}=="ffff", ATTR{idProduct}=="0000",

I plugged it in before installing ubuntu on the vague hope that it would detect
it
and install it itself.  In finding out which usb device it was, I unplugged it,
ran
lsusb, replugged it, ran lsusb again.  So I tried it both ways.  I've also
rebooted
the machine since installing nut so that may have contributed.
