Have you tried to see if the device works with nut instead of apc's software?

You might also ask on the nut list. APC got bought by MGE Sytems a while back
and they (MGE) sponsor nut development and are very open about their devices.
So the nut people may be able to get access to the information needed if
they don't already.
