dmesg | grep 'UPS'
It should be a HID device, e.g. hiddev0:
$ dmesg | grep UPS
hiddev0: USB HID v1.00 Joystick [American Power Conversion Back-UPS 
ES/CyberFort 500 FW: 4.1.I USB FW: d1] on usb2:2.0

Edit the nut configuration files /etc/sysconfig/ups and /etc/ups/*
chmod the USB device file (/dev/usb/hiddev*) so that the driver can read and 
write the device.

In /etc/sysconfig/ups set MODEL=hidups and DEVICE=/dev/usb/hiddev0 (or 
whatever is the correct HID device.

In /etc/ups/ups.conf define the name for your ups and re-define the driver and 
port.

In /etc/ups/upsd.users declare names, passwords and permissions. These are 
separate from normal Linux usernames/passwords.

In /etc/ups/upsmon.conf define the UPS to be monitored, together with a 
username and password matching those defined in upsd.users
