From this page, I gather that it uses the "SGM" control software, not "PowerChute" like most of the rest of APC's line:

I assume this is a rebranded unit, so it might make sense to try other NUT drivers. However, it is always worth asking the manufacturer if the protocol is available, otherwise you might consider returning the unit. (Even if you ultimately don't want to return it, you can still drop hints when asking for the protocol.)
