Qnap as UPS Slave to Raspberry Pi NUT server

https://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?t=60166

your upsname must be named qnapups, and user “admin” with password “123456” must be allowed to connect.The user/password pair can be changed manually on the QNAP. The UPS name can not be changed (at least I was not able to find way how to change it) but you can change the username/password manually in /etc/config/ups/upsmon.conf
