Hi,
I modified your config accordingly and now I get the following message:

Serial-over-USB transport layer for Megatec protocol driver

5 out of 5 detection attempts failed (minimum failures: 2).
Megatec protocol UPS not detected.

It clearly is trying to communicate so it seems the protocol may be
