Adapted from the original instructions that this guidance is based on came from [http://www.mscs.dal.ca/~selinger/ups/backups.html here] and [http://billauer.co.il/blog/2010/01/fedora-mustek-powermust-600-ups-nut-howto/ here]. The former, by Peter Selinger, are closest to this case, but a lot of the work he had to do is now done for you out of the box. The latter are for a different UPS, but are also fresher.
'''NOTE:''' The Amahi Web Application [http://www.amahi.org/apps/ups-monitor UPS Monitor] provides web monitoring capability..
First, do this as [[Open_Terminal_as_root|root user]]:
Next, you will need to configure four files in /etc/nut: nut.conf, ups.conf, upsd.users, hosts.conf, and upsmon.conf. They will look almost identical to Selinger's (password1 and password2 can be changed to anything):
[apc]
driver = usbhid-ups
port = auto
desc = "APC Back-UPS"
sudo vi /etc/nut/upsd.users
[admin]
password = password1
password = password2
upsmon master
sudo vi /etc/nut/hosts.conf
'''NOTE:''' If using [http://www.amahi.org/apps/ups-monitor UPS Monitor], skip the hosts.conf portion or you will end up with double entries.
MONITOR apc@localhost 1 monuser password2 master

The next step is to start the UPS service:
sudo service ups-monitor stop
sudo service ups-monitor start
At this point, you should see something like this in your terminal:
