I appreciate the suggestions but I don't seem to be getting anywhere 
with this project.  How do I determine what device the F7 thinks the UPS is?

It came to me with a USB cable and that was convenient so I have it 
connected that way and the computer sees it as indicated by lsusb -

But in order to configure it I need to identify it in the config. file.  
/dev/usb is not sufficient it seems.  What do I do next?
