Keywords: APC UPS powerd SmartUPS 600

I have a SmartUPS 600 from American Power Conversions (APC),  it has
a serial port which provides for intelligent remote management.

Does anyone have the protocol spec for how to talk to it?

Has anyone reverse-engineered the code or listened to their
proprietary PowerChute software talking to it?

Regards,
