Powershield Defender 1200 UPS Communication Issues

[SLIMaxPower]

So I am running 9.3 with system updates done.

I am having communication issues. The UPS gets dropped after a couple of minutes.

I have replaced the cable.

I emailed the supplier who advised me to use the following details.

driver = blazer_usb
subdriver = cypress
port = auto
vendorid = 0665
productid = 5161
protocol = mustek

I realise this is an old thread. Did you ever get this resolved? The Defender 1200 appears to be the only Australian built NUT compatible UPS.
