This document was constructed from a mail from Martin. He figured out
the pinouts to make the Back-UPS RS 500 work with a normal serial port.
Here are the details:

Note this results in OL=-CTS, LB=DCD, SD=ST, CP=RTS, so it should work
with the existing genericups type 20.Desc: APC UPS cables

Note that APC UPS serial cable part numbers follow a numbering scheme
where the "940-" prefix identifies them as cables.
940-1000 straight through cable
940-0103 null modem cable
940-0020 Basic Signaling Cable (OB and kill power)
940-0023 Simple Signaling Cable (OB only)
940-LL24 Smart Signaling Cable
940-0095 PnP Cable (see Apcupsd manual for diagram)
940-0119 Simple Signaling Cable (OB and kill power)
940-0127 RJ45-10P10C to USB Cable
940-0128 Simple Signaling Cable for Back-UPS CS
"LL" represents the length:
00 six feet
NN NN feet
The suffix letter represents a minor revision in physical design, or a
change of OEM, _not_ a change of wiring or pin-out, and all cables
differing only in this suffix letter are electrically interchangeable.
Note though the following quote from the APC Discussion Forums: "At one
point there were a small number of revision D cables [940-0024D] that
had some shielding issues from the manufacturer that could maybe cause
[...] [spontaneous] self-tests)."+-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | Black APC 940-0024C Smart Signalling UPS Cable Wiring Diagram | | This information is verified and tested to be 100% correct. | | | +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | DB9M(UPS) 2m Cable DB9F(Computer) | | --------- -------- -------------- | | | | (SHELL)<---------+----//----+----------------<(SHELL) | | | | | | - - | | | | | | | | CHASSIS 9<--------------//---------------------<5 SG | | | | | | | | TXD 2<--------------//---------------------<2 RXD | | | | | | | | RXD 1<--------------//---------------------<3 TXD | | | | | | | | - - +--<1 DCD | | | | | +--<4 DTR | | NOTES: | | Cable type is shielded 28AWG. +--<7 RTS | | The DB shells are connected | | | to each other via the shield. +--<8 CTS | | | +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | Operation: The UPS communicates with the Computer via | | ordinary RS-232 serial protocol at 2400-8N1 with software | | flow control.

This document describes the cable for MGE smart protocols : UTalk (ASCII),
and SHUT (Serial HID UPS Transfer, binary) .
First notice that MGE UPS SYSTEMS supply a standard cable, bundled with
the UPS unit and compatible with MS Windows and Unices (Ref 66049). For
more information, see below note about serial cable, PnP and Unix.

Notes
-----
- this is a universal serial cable, so it should work with
any MGE serial model.
- max. length of cable is 1,80 m.
- Computer pin 6 (RTS) is reserved for PnP use, which could
trouble communication on some Unices if cabled. However, new
models (such as Ellipse, Evolution, Pulsar and Comet EXtreme,
EXtreme C, ...) handle this, so you can safely cable pin 6 or
use a standard (bundled) "windows" cable (Ref 66049).Desc: Powerware 3115 factory cable File: powerware.txt Date: 22 July 2005 Auth: various 1) Powerware 3115 factory cable From Peter Åstrand <altic@lysator.liu.se> UPS PC 9 pin connector 5 --------- 1 2 --------- 2 1 --------- 3 4 --------- 5 6 --------- 8 2) Powerware 5119 RM Cable Layout From Daniel Thompson <danht@callthenet.com> UPS <-----------> PC DB9-M <--------> DB9-F Pin 1 <-----------> Pin 3 Pin 2 <-----------> Pin 8 Pin 4 <-----------> Pin 4 Pin 5 <-----------> Pin 1 Shells Grounded Both Ends
