I am talking to it with minicom - but if I issue a UPCL (could CL = Commands 
List???)

I get
UPSS
UPDS
UPDV
UPTP
UPSN
UPPN
UPSD
UPCD
UPPC
UPPU
UPIS
UP??
UPEA
UPDA
UPCL

And it fails to respond to UPLC or ACLC

I'm guessing that:
UPSS is System status
UPDS is System Data?
UPTP returns type - or system model name?
UPSD - 0 shows shutdown delay (is this the time to wait from power failure?) 
Which outlet?
UPSN returns serial number
UPPN returns part number
UPIS runs front panel test

Misdirection is the key to being a good magician. Magicians tell
you they are doing something while they do something quite
different; much like politicians -- except we can afford magicians.
