A bit of config magic is, I think, needed; I have this in my config
file:

        ugen*   at uhub? port ? vendor "0x051d" flags 1

which yields

ugen0 at uhub1 port 1
ugen0: APC Back-UPS ES 725 FW:802.n2.D USB FW:n2, rev 1.10/1.06, addr 2

The magic cables are the RS-232 ones; AFAIK the USB cables are generic; I'm using a generic USB B->A cable that came with some other piece of USB HW for
connecting my ACP UPS to my Netra.

Older ones have an RJ45 at one end and USB at the other. I have such a cable here in case anyone needs the pinout.

have fun
Michael
