Hi, we are WISP considering moving our network to Mikrotik routers.
I’m trying to make script for General Electric UPS’s we have, but get strange beehive of serial-terminal.
When trying to communicate to the UPS, I only get “p” and beeps. This is the terminal output (values for connection are correct).

Tried null-modem cable and a LOOP one also.
