E450 won't boot with APC SmartUPS

Gurus,

I have an E450 running Solaris 7. I have tried to install and APC SmartUPS
and the associated power management software on this server, however when
the UPS is connected via the supplied serial cable the server refuses to
boot. Disconnecting the cable allows the server to boot, and I can see the
following appear in /var/adm/messages:-

Apr 27 11:38:39 myhost upsd[2933]: Unable to communicate with UPS
Apr 27 11:38:39 myhost unix: envctrl: ignoring debug enter sequence
Apr 27 11:39:32 myhost last message repeated 1182 times
Apr 27 11:40:01 myhost login: REPEATED LOGIN FAILURES ON /dev/console

Any ideas as to how I can get this working. I have previously used this UPS
and software on an E250 with the same release of the OS no problems.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions, I will summarise the answers.

Regards,
Kevin
