I don't know if that matters, but let me add that the connection between
the sparc machine's port and the ups' port consists of two cables and a
gender changer in between, like so:
On the sun's port side the plug is a DB25 and the other end on the same
cable in a DB9. This RS232 DB9 is connected through a "gender changer"
to the UPS' black cable which is DB9 on both ends.
Gender changer is DB9 male/male:

I hope it's clear ...
