+This document describes the cable for MGE smart protocols : UTalk (ASCII),
+and SHUT (Serial HID UPS Transfer, binary) .
+
+First notice that MGE UPS SYSTEMS supply a standard cable, bundled with
+the UPS unit and compatible with MS Windows and Unices (Ref 66049). For
+more information, see below note about serial cable, PnP and Unix.

+Notes
+-----
+	- this is a universal serial cable, so it should work with
+	any MGE serial model.
+	- max. length of cable is 1,80 m.
+	- Computer pin 6 (RTS) is reserved for PnP use, which could
+	trouble communication on some Unices if cabled. However, new
+	models (such as Ellipse, Evolution, Pulsar and Comet EXtreme,
+	EXtreme C, ...) handle this, so you can safely cable pin 6 or
+	use a standard (bundled) "windows" cable (Ref 66049).
