There are comments for everything else except the line: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
DEVICE /dev/ttyS0 |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
But that would seem to conflict with the line further up the page: |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
UPSCABLE usb |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
But yeah, the manual says leave DEVICE blank for USB-connected units. I'll try that. Thanks. |
