I had the same problem using the cable provided by APC and their
windows client. The program does confirm communication with the UPS, but
pulling the plug does not register an "event" with the ups monitor. I
have a backups (non-pro) 450. At this point I strongly suspect that apc
simply put the wrong cable in my box. I've been trying to find an
authoritative source for the cable pinouts so I can just build my own,
but I haven't yet. As soon as I get a chance I'm going to contact apc
about this, but if you beat me to it, or find a program that works
please keep me up to date, I'd really like to get this working.
Thanks,
Doug
