The UPS documentation is very lacking.
The Unit is an Ablerex VT PRO 1.5K---http://www.ablerex.com.tw/products_4.php?bgid=1&mgid=3&sgid=58
Smart RS-232 interface for power management

It has a USB port and no serial. It seems the ethernet/phone connectors are for surge protection only from what I am reading
