You need to refer to the manufacturer. Not all UPS are made exactly the
same. You read the thread on the Compaq, along with the "special" cable
required.
As an example of difference, my UPS has the option of using either a
standard serial cable OR a network cable. The UPS monitoring and shutdown
software came from the manufacturer of the UPS, PK technologies. Most
common is the APC brand name.
Try the APC website:
