Hi guys/gals,
I searched but couldn't come up with anything but will continue searching as well.
Anyway, I am trying to configure apcupsd and am having some issues identifying which /dev/hiddev* file is which UPS (I have 3).
The devices show up in dmesg and it looks like they are going to be hiddev96, hiddev97 and hiddev98. But these files don't exist, only hiddev0, hiddev1 and hiddev2. That is to be expected (I think anyway...I believe it is essentially running mknod for me, right?). But, how do I know which device maps to which 'hiddev*' file?
From /proc/bus/usb/devices I can clearly see the SerialNumber, but how can I identify which one of those devices in /proc/bus/usb/devices maps to which /dev/hiddev* file? Is there something I am overlooking?
I guess I could make a rule in /etc/udev/50-persistent.rules as suggested in the manual for apcupsd, but I would still like to know how to identify devices in a situation like this.
Here is 'cat /proc/bus/usb/devices'
Code:

Here is 'lsusb' for the appropriate devices
Code:
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 051d:0002 American Power Conversion Uninterruptible Power Supply
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 051d:0002 American Power Conversion Uninterruptible Power Supply
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 051d:0002 American Power Conversion Uninterruptible Power Supply
And here is 'dmesg | grep hidd'
Code:
usbcore: registered new interface driver hiddev

Thanks in advance, it is much appreciated.
