AFAIK native HP software.

Unfortunately none of these worked; the errors are varying:

with apcsmart
Unable to detect an APC Smart protocol UPS on port /dev/ttyS1
Check the cabling, port name or model name and try again
similar message with the bcmxcp driver;

the upscode2 driver gives:
Missing UPCL after UPCL
No contact with UPS, delaying init.

And the upshid-ups driver ends with:
No matching HID UPS found
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)
