I don't know specifically about the 350CS, about the only thing I know 
is you have to have exactly the right cable/software combination. Did 
you confirm that there is a 940-0128A between the units? Perhaps trying 
other options as advised at
http://www.sibbald.com/apcupsd/3.8manual/configure.html#ConfigGeneral
could give you a hint in the right direction.
