The contact info for Israel on http://www.informups.com/worldwide.html
points to Advice, the biggest retail UPS provider in the country. They
sell this: http://www.advicepower.com/r_productDetails.aspx?PID=579
This is not what I have. This is not found anywhere on
http://www.informups.com/ups.html
Looks like Advice don't sell Inform products for the line interactive
pure sine wave market niche.

Also, Inform sounds like a serious company. Why would their product
use ffff:0000 id?

I believe Inform design their products but offshore the manufacturing
to China, like every other company in the world. Maybe the OEM lunched
its R&D arm by reverse engineering the products they manufactured,
changed the id and sold them off off-brand. Like the Chinese do for
weapons, cars, and electronics.

My printed user's manual, which is similar (except for layout) to
http://www.informups.com/pdf/informer_compact_manuals.pdf
doesn't have the first page with the company's name and logo.

In fact I've just found it on google using the number at the top right corner:
http://www.ablerex.com.tw/manual/JP/JP-PRO_user_manual_192321362000002.pdf
The model name (JP Pro) is identical.

And look at that: http://www.uisabler.com.tw/indexe.htm

"Ablerex is the world’s leading manufacturer of uninterruptible power
supplies (UPS) and power quality devices (PQD), with a strong Research
and Development team committed to creating and building innovative

manufacturing facility which is five (5) times larger than the current

Here is the product page.

I like the "Patent RS232 and USB Communication Interfaces" from the brochure.
