Install apcupsd via yum - it supports USB. Set the following values
in /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf:
UPSCABLE usb
UPSTYPE usb
DEVICE
The DEVICE setting has to be blank - the comments in the conf file
mention this. I have several of these UPSes that are monitored this way.

There is an RJ45-USB cable, but they say the USB cable will not work
with Linux, and I need an RJ45 to Serial cable. Thw software that
goes with
it (PowerChute for Linux) asks which serial port you want to use it
with so it
must need a serial port.
I am using CentOS and there is pl2303 and usbserial, but that
doesn't seem to recognize
the USB port I plugged the machine into. However, hwbrowser shows
American Power Conversion Back-UPS Pro 500/1000/1500
under system devices, when the USB port is connected.
Any idea how to access it through a serial port? I can't find /dev/
