Nut upsuser - Oct 2010 - New APC UPS serial interface

Hi

Is there anybody that knows the protocol for the new UPS's serial interface?

How new is new?

The protocol analysis which I believe was used for the NUT apcsmart  
driver is posted here:

AFAIK, it's a binary protocol, but since I've never seen a serial snoop
of
it.
I'm interested in seeing if it's similar to SHUT: same HID as in USB,
but
over a serial link. this was made by MGE, and is now used by Eaton. but APC
may be using it too, since many MGE engineers stayed there.

if you want to help, could you try to snoop the serial communication between
windows driver and the UPS?

cheers,
Arnaud
