I've read every thread I can find on this, but none (including the guide and the NUT docs) actually say in clear terms, what config to enter on the UPS service dialog. So far I've never succeeded in getting the two communicating. I'm hoping someone who has got this working, can explain.
The UPS network card is an AP9630 with IP address 192.168.1.3, latest firmware AFAIK, and various users configured:
If so, what config do I need to enter in FreeNAS (and in which fields!), to make the UPS service able to work with it?
The threads on this are full of half-information that hasn't helped. Apart from putting the IP address in the "host" field, a random identifier, selecting any random item in the "Port" field (ignored for SNMP), and selecting "Master" and the correct driver, which is easy, the rest (ups+upsd params, monitor user+PW, extra users) are very unclear as to which data needs to be added in which GUI field to make this work, and how written.

- Under "Configuration" -> "Security" ->"Local Users" -> "User Management Configuration":
- "Superuser" also used for web login, user=apc, Password=SUPASS999 (not really, but something!)
- Various other accounts below it, under "General user management", with names like device, admin, user, etc - all disabled at the moment as nobody else uses web login. - Under "Configuration" -> "Network" -> "SNMPv3" (which is enabled) -> "User Profile", I have created a profile with a name "freenas-agent", authentication=SHA, privacy=AES, "authentication passphrase"=AUTHPASS999, and "privacy passphrase"=PRIVPASS999
