I just added the USB cable from my IPFire device to my existing Cyber Power CP1500PFCLCD. And here are the changes I made to `apcupsd.conf`:

```auto
[root@ipfire ~] # cat /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf
...
UPSNAME Cyberpwr	# <- only 8 character allowed
UPSCABLE usb
UPSTYPE usb
#	leave DEVICE blank
DEVICE
...

```

These are the only changes I made to the default `apcupsd.conf` file. And it seems to work OK for me. I have not tested this yet (no test button and no test power down).

**EDIT** : Here is the screen I see in menu **IPFire** \> **APC-UPS status**
