apctest can only perform the following with a CyberPower UPS:
[?] 1) Test kill UPS power [X] 2) Perform self-test [X] 3) Read last self-test result [ ] 4) View/Change battery date [ ] 5) View manufacturing date [X] 6) View/Change alarm behavior [ ] 7) View/Change sensitivity [X] 8) View/Change low transfer voltage (LOTRANS = 100 Volts) [X] 9) View/Change high transfer voltage (HITRANS = 140 Volts) [X] 10) Perform battery calibration [ ] 11) Test alarm [ ] 12) View/Change self-test interval

Issues
Transfer to endpoint failed
kernel: [67839.403339] Transfer to device 6 endpoint 0x1 frame 2026 failed - FIQ reported NYET. Data may have been lost.
USB Device 6 turns out to be the UPS:
# lsusb Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0764:0501 Cyber Power System, Inc. CP1500 AVR UPS
Seems to be an intermittent issue as able to still get UPS device status with apcaccess.
The UPS is connected to a RaspberryPi and Google searches seem to show this issue appears to be isolated to the Raspberry Pi.
