And this should be the cable. And it is for smart mode, so you
can not use it with the generic driver.

This type of ups is talking upscodeII, so you need to test the upscode2 
driver. If it acts like a T1500h you may need to add 'use_pre lf' into 
the 'ups.conf'.

ups.conf should look something like this.

[compaq]
        driver = upscode2
        port = /dev/ttyS0
        desc = "Compaq T2400h"
        manufacturer = "Compaq"
        input_timeout = 5
        use_pre_lf = yes
