It's plane ASCII so you can try to sen this commands to the ups.
The line settings should be 9600,n,8,1 but you can check the port
what the driver set it to.

If you send:

UPLC (cr)
0 (cr)

It would respont with the numbers of output channels:

ACLC(cr)(lf)
C01(cr)(lf) 
C02(cr)(lf)

to se the restart delay (Cnn is channel number):

UPLR(cr)
Cnn(cr)

response (Dttt is the delay):

ACLR(cr)(lf)
CnnDttt(cr)(lf)

It is possible to change the delay by:

UPLR(cr)
CnnDttt(cr)

No public documentation is published. But the developer have
some documentation on a type of NDA. So you may send a mail
to the driver developers.

If they can incorporate this into the driver, then you may be a
beta tester of the code.
