Maybe. It could also be speaking a dialect of the Megatec protocol and
use 'QS\r' to query for the status. The new 'blazer_(ser|usb)' drivers
will support that, the 'megatec(_usb)' doesn't.
[...]
Running a driver in debug mode might help to find communication
problems, but if the UPS 'speaks' a different protocol, it most likely
won't reveal anything. At best it will just echo the command back to
let us know it doesn't understand it.
If available, running the software that was bundled with the UPS on a
Windows box while running a serial port sniffer, usually provides
enough info about the protocol to see what driver should support it.
Best regards, Arjen
