interestingly, I have some investigations underway related to this (HP
R1500 G2 INTL, 0x03f0:0x1fe0).
this seems to be an hybrid device, rebranded from Powerware (now
Eaton), with some Tripplite legacies (due to the previous OEM for HP).

ATM, my investigation are not completed, but the current conclusion is:
- the serial communication uses bcmxcp
- the USB communication is HID compliant, and maps on the Tripplite HID data.

I've not yet commited the attached patch, mostly because of a lack of
testing completion, but it should already give you good results.

cheers,
Arnaud
