I have found that the config files for NUT are well commented and just
editing every file in /etc/nut should get you most of the way there.
However, if you want to do some reading first, there's the "nut-doc"
package which will put a whole load of files into
/usr/share/doc/nut-doc. If you find that THAT is out of date, then file
a bug report.

That's a common situation. On the master you'd want something like:
nut.conf:
MODE=netmaster
[your-ups]
driver = foo
port = auto (probably, see the driver documentation for more
options)
upsd.conf:
LISTEN = 127.0.0.1
LISTEN = ::1
LISTEN = A.LAN.IP
upsmon.conf:
MONITOR your-ups@your-host 1 ... (set up a user in upsd.users)
And on the slave:
nut.conf:
MODE=netclient
upsmon.conf:
MONITOR your-ups@your-host 1 ... (IOW, the same as on master)
