Trying to add a APC USB UPS to MT. The USB ports sees the APC UPS, but how do you add the USB port to the system so that it is available to the UPS>port menu?

Thanks

To my knowlage, USB APC units are not supported.
Use serial port UPS.

Thanks Craig… but I found an entry in the archives that indicates it was to be included in 2.9 Beta 8 for non-Routerboards.
