USB path for UPS config file
« on: January 31, 2008, 03:42:16 AM »
I'm trying to configuring Megatec RUPS 2000 which has a serial rs232 interface. I brought a serial to USB cable because my PC doesn't have rs232 interface. I'm tried to get SME to communicate with UPS via USB.

lsusb -v shows
Bus 003 Device 005: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port
Device Descriptor:
bLength 18
bDescriptorType 1
bcdUSB 1.10
bDeviceClass 0 (Defined at Interface level)
bDeviceSubClass 0
bDeviceProtocol 0
bMaxPacketSize0 64
idVendor 0x067b Prolific Technology, Inc.
idProduct 0x2303 PL2303 Serial Port

Now when i edit Rups config files with communication port as
/dev/bus/usb/003/005 it doesn't find UPS...

RUPS Lite - UPS Monitoring Utility. Version 3.11
Copyright(C) Mega System Technologies, Inc. 2003.
Start RUPS...
Press ENTER to continue...
RUPS: Cannot open device (/dev/bus/usb/003/005).

What would be the path name for this??
