USB connected UPS

Had been using Cyberpower CP1500AVRLCD UPS for the last couple of years with this ReadyNAS thru a USB connection.  Sometime this year with the firmware update now at 6.9.1, the USB connect to UPS appears no longer supported.

 

Tried adding UPS and there is no USB option.  The only options are SNMP and Remote UPS.  Please advise how I can configure the UPS using the USB option that was available in the past.  Thanks!

    A UPS connected via USB should be automatically detected and used without needing any configuration.

      It should show up if you expand the UPS section of the power tab.  I did that, and then clicked on the settings wheel, and see this:

        Thank you for your suggestions. Just changed the UPS USB connection to the rear USB instead of the front and now it recognized it.  Not sure why it does not work with the front USB.
