1 | INTRODUCTION |

| 3 | The USB serial driver currently supports a number of different USB to | |
| 4 | serial converter products, as well as some devices that use a serial | |
| 5 | interface from userspace to talk to the device. | |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | See the individual product section below for specific information about | |
| 8 | the different devices. | |

| 11 | CONFIGURATION | |
| 12 | ||
| 13 | Currently the driver can handle up to 256 different serial interfaces at | |
| 14 | one time. | |
| 15 | ||
| 16 | If you are not using devfs: | |
| 17 | The major number that the driver uses is 188 so to use the driver, | |
| 18 | create the following nodes: | |
| 19 | mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0 | |
| 20 | mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1 | |
| 21 | mknod /dev/ttyUSB2 c 188 2 | |

| 29 | If you are using devfs: | |
| 30 | The devices supported by this driver will show up as | |
| 31 | /dev/usb/tts/{0,1,...} | |

| 33 | When the device is connected and recognized by the driver, the driver | |
| 34 | will print to the system log, which node(s) the device has been bound | |
| 35 | to. | |
