That's the megatec protocol, supported by the "megatec" driver.

The only thing that the megatec doesn't seem to support from that
protocol description is the "test for N seconds" command.

Ok, if all these UPSes are described by the above protocol, I only
need to be sure that at least one of them works correctly with the
"megatec" driver(*).

(*) I especially need to know if the shutdown process works correcly,
as megatec uses the "shutdown and restore" command even for the cases
where the UPS should be permanently shut down (in all models supported
up to now the "SxxR00" command is equivalent to "Sxx" in the
above
document).
