Old UPS models such as: SURT1000XLI, SURT2000XLI, SURT3000XLI and SURT5000XLI supported PowerView.

New models such as SURTD3000XLI and SURTD5000XLI came with no COM output port just a serial RJ45 Adaptor to COM. The thing is that PowerView doesn't work out of the box with this new "D" models.

Is there any way to make it work?

I finally proved it won't work. APC forgot about PowerView with this usless "Digital" refresh. I wonder why the do this "updates" instead of shipping standard the hardwiring i/o kit...
