You're maybe missing the program to control your UPS unit (i.e., "nut" or 
maybe the manufacturer's own utils, if available).

Before going with Nut, I would suggest you to look into the compatibility 
table for UPS devices and verify your UPS brand and model is listed here:

If not present, perform a Google search to find out additional 
information for setting up your device in linux.
