 I haven't been to the server room yet to check out the problem.
+==== Configuration ====
+After the daemon is installed, there are two files which need attention:
+=== /etc/apcupsd/hosts.conf ===
+<file>[alan@hpc-ilri: /etc/apcupsd]$ cat hosts.conf
+# Network UPS Tools - hosts.conf
+#
+# This file does double duty - it lists the systems that multimon will
+# monitor, and also specifies the systems that upsstats is allowed to
+# watch.  It keeps people from feeding random addresses to upsstats,
+# among other things.  upsimage also uses this file to know who it
+# may speak to. upsfstats too.
+#
+# Usage: list systems running upsd that you want to monitor
+#
+# MONITOR <address> "<host description>"
+#
+# Please note, MONITOR must start in column 1 (no spaces permitted)
+#
+# Example:
+# MONITOR 10.64.1.1 "Finance department"
+# MONITOR 10.78.1.1 "Sierra High School data room #1"
+#
+MONITOR 127.0.0.1 "ILRI-HPC"</file>
+=== /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf ===
+The defaults are ok, but make sure the daemon is configured to use ''UPSTYPE usb'', and leave the ''DEVICE'' blank for auto detection.
+<file>UPSTYPE usb
+DEVICE</file>
