# config -s config.ups.monitors.monitor1.port=/dev/port01
If the port number is higher than 9, eg port 13, enter:
# config -s config.ups.monitors.monitor1.port=/dev/port13
# config -s “config.ups.monitors.monitor1.name=My UPS”
# config -s “config.ups.monitors.monitor1.description=UPS in room 5”
# config -s config.ups.monitors.monitor1.username=User2
# config -s config.ups.monitors.monitor1.password=secret
# config -s config.ups.monitors.monitor1.sdorder=2
# config -s config.ups.monitors.monitor1.driver=genericups
# config -s config.ups.monitors.monitor1.options.option1.opt=option
# config -s config.ups.monitors.monitor1.options.option1.arg=argument
# config -s config.ups.monitors.monitor1.options.total=1
# config -s config.ups.monitors.monitor1.log.enabled=on
# config -s config.ups.monitors.monitor1.log.interval=2
# config -s config.ups.monitors.monitor1.script.enabled=on

# config -s config.ups.monitors.total=1
The five commands below will add the UPS to ‘Managed devices. Assuming there are already two managed devices configured:
# config -s “config.devices.device3.connections.connection1.name=My UPS”
# config -s “config.devices.device3.connections.connection1.type=UPS Unit”
# config -s “config.devices.device3.name=My UPS”
# config -s “config.devices.device3.description=UPS in toom 5”
# config -s config.devices.total=3
To delete this managed UPS:
# config -d config.ups.monitors.monitor1
