That is good.

Not 100% sure but it looks like it is tha same as belkin use.
So for start, try the belkin driver's and then the megatec driver.

You should try RS-232 first. If no go on belkin or megatec you can try to
setup the dry-contact with the generic driver.

If you install NUT, try the driver in debug mode first.
Setup the ups.conf (se manual) then run the driver in debug.
/path/to/belkin -DD -u root -a ups

The -u root is to handle any problems with access to the comport. If you
know this is OK you can take out the -u root in the command.

The -a ups is pointing to what you set for tag name in ups.conf.
