Connecting UPS to Octel 100 for use with UPS Integrator

[hoghug]

I am trying to connect a UPS to an Octel 100. I have connected a new Minuteman Office Plus 500 and used the data cable included. I use the UPS Integrator's Setup Option to try and learn the UPS states. But all states return 0's. Is the UPS Integrator software proprietary to Avaya manufactured UPS's? Does the data cable require a special pin-out?

Has anyone had experience in replacing a UPS on an Octel 100 who can help me?

Also, the Integrator software was preinstalled on the Octel 100 that I have at my desk. I assume it's standard. I've been though Avaya's product list and can't find it listed separately. Does anyone know if all versions/releases of the Octel 100 included this software?

If the software is proprietary to a particular UPS can anyone tell me which one?

What I have found out is that the Minuteman UPS communicates its status to the PC through contact closure and the software on my Octel looks for binary masks to read status.

Does anyone know which UPS's communicate status via binary masks?
