But you may try to use it with something like "port = /dev/ttyUSB0"
first to see if it works.

The output you pasted in your message shows the device as a "USB to
RS232 interface", but these UPSes usually are more complicated than
just the standard megatec protocol over a serial connection "emulated"
over USB. But one never knows.
