**********************************************************************
NOTE IF you install a apcupsd server:
Change to /dev and create a softlink to e.g. ups from the serial line
the USV is connected to, e.g.
cd /dev
ln -s cuaa1 ups
Read the manual
${PREFIX}/share/doc/apcupsd/manual.pdf
to do site specific configuration assigenments! Especially have a
detailed look into the chapter describing the shutdown procedure.
Sample files are installed in ${PREFIX}/etc/apcupsd. These files
must be copied and/or configured for a proper working apcupsd.
You need to modify ${PREFIX}/etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf as follows:
For serial cable: DEVICE /dev/ups (or /dev/cuaaX)
For USB cable: DEVICE (yes, leave it blank after DEVICE)
NOTE that for USB cable you must comment out the line
device uhid # "Human Interface Devices"
in your kernel configuration file and recompile the kernel.
Your keyboard and mouse will still work.
WARNING USB support on FreeBSD is still considered BETA!
