APC UPS Trip Lite - usb device keeps disconnecting

[jbiskofski]

Gentlemen,

I have recently purchased a small APC UPS unit for my office server. We
have power outages from time to time that can last a couple of hours (
Mexico City ).

I would like to setup apcupsd to automatically shutdown the server when
there is a power outage. Upon connecting the UPS with a USB cable to the
server I get this message :

    ugen1.2: <Tripp Lite> at usbus1
    uhid1: <Tripp Lite Tripp Lite UPS, class 0/0, rev 1.10/0.07, addr 2> on
usbus1

And then about 20 seconds later :

    ugen1.2: <Tripp Lite> at usbus1 (disconnected)
    uhid1: at uhub1, port 2, addr 2 (disconnected)

20 seconds after that :

    ugen1.2: <Tripp Lite> at usbus1
    uhid1: <Tripp Lite Tripp Lite UPS, class 0/0, rev 1.10/0.07, addr 2> on
usbus1

Another 20 seconds :

    ugen1.2: <Tripp Lite> at usbus1 (disconnected)
    uhid1: at uhub1, port 2, addr 2 (disconnected)

----

So on and so forth forever.

I'm using 8.2-STABLE. I cvsupd, builttheworld, installedtheworld and all
that in hopes that would solve the problem. But unfortunately it did not. I
was unable to find a similar situation in Google.

Any help would be very appreciated.

Thank you!
