Basically I have a Cyberpower UPS connected to my PC via a USB cable and the UPS is not a network UPS.

I would like to use WinNUT to configre the NAS but can not get it to work correctly without errors

 

UPS [UPS@192.168.1.6]: connect failed: Connection failure: Unknown error

Level NOTICE 10/14/2021 15:27:34 UPS UPS@192.168.1.6 is unavailable

 

the settings that was suggested to use are

 

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# MONITOR <system> <powervalue> <username> <password> ("master"|"slave")

MONITOR UPS@192.168.1.6 1 monuser pass slave

OK, so are these the settings on the PC or the NAS?  The setting above is for monitoring a remote UPS at 192.168.6.1.  But you should not be going in and doing that directly on the NAS, and the rest looks like it's for the the PC.  If the UPS is on the PC, the PC installation has to be the server and use the GUI capability to monitor a remote NAS and give the IP address and password.

But I agree with StephenB that you might have better luck with the UPS on the NAS and the PC monitoring it, mostly because the version of NUT in the NAS is rather old and may not be able to talk to a newer version of WinNUT.
