Unlikely. However, it might be a standard serial port that you can hook a
terminal to, and see what happens. Other than that, I'd suggest a look at
the Network UPS Tools pages at
http://www.exploits.org/nut/ I know it's
not Windows (though there's a client called WinNUT), but it will at least
give you an idea what to try and what to expect.
