No, you don't need to do any configuration.
Why don't you try the simple check without TAHI?
Namely,

  1. Make sure the interface of NUT is down.
  2. Run the tcpdump at TN.
  3. Activate the interface of NUT.

If you cannot see any NSs, you may doubt the network driver.
I heard there were a few drivers which have a bug,
they disturbed IPv6 protocol stack when sending NSs.
