The above is what we would expect. The powerpanel driver first tries a
binary protocol @ 1200 baud. Your (text mode) UPS won't reply to that, so
tha't's OK.

Well, the above pretty much says it all. The UPS is not responding at all,
so unless Cyber Power changed the serial protocol they are using, there
must be something wrong with the serial port and/or the serial cable used
to connect the UPS. This certainly is not a permissions problem, since in
that case you wouldn't be able to send characters either.
