I picked up a UPS this weekend - the serial connection to the computer is a RJ45/usb2 cable. The system see the UPS, model, serialnumber, all sorts of things. The control software wants to know what port the device is on (ie /dev/ttyS0 - which it ain't :-( ).
I'm thinking I need usbserial ???? Anyone been down this path?
Doing a "lsusb" gives: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 051d:0002 American Power Conversion Back-UPS Pro 500
lsmod | grep usb usbserial 23228 0 (unused) usb-uhci 26124 0 (unused) usbcore 78752 1 [usbserial hid ehci-hcd usb-uhci]
Telling the SW to use: /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 doesn't work, ..USB1,2,3 don't work.
How do I create and use a serial connection?
Tks
