Looks like something is out of sync here.  The first thing that the 
plugin tries to do is log in to the device - the plugin looks for 
"Escape character is '^]'." and, once that is received, looks for the 
"User Name :"  prompt before sending the login.  Here it looks like the 
"Escape..." string was never received by the plugin while the device is 
sitting there waiting for the user name to be entered.  Have you tried 
this manually?  Telnet to the APC device (7.200.200.11) and login with 
gentoo2/secret - note the output you receive from the device...
