Nut upsuser - Aug 2022 - dual cyberpower 2200 on windows

Hi all,

I've got 2 identical cyberpower 2200 ups's connected via usb to a
windows
10 machine, running the latest nut binary downloaded from the official nut
website. I need to specify the usb port in the ups.conf file, but I cannot
work out how to find the path for each ups to fill in the port = section.
If I leave it as port = auto, then only 1 unit can be monitored at a time.

thanks
Rich

as the documentation describes, just leave port=auto and use the other
USB-specific options to distinguish USB UPSes from one another:
https://networkupstools.org/docs/man/usbhid-ups.html#_implementation (port is a
relic from the days of serial UPSes)

If the UPSes are truly identical (no unique serial number), then that's
something you should take up with your UPS vendor.
