SUNIX PCI-e serial controller

[stanna]

hello,

i was hoping somebody could help me get a SUNIX serial controller working under my Centos 6.8 installation? (need a com port to monitor the UPS). i must admit i have limited knowledge with this and hope somebody can assit.

below is the contents of lspci -l, any other information required? Thanks in advance

I would imagine that it would just work out of the box. Have you tried? grep -e 'ttyS[0-9]' /var/log/messages may show some information about your serial ports. You can also try cat /proc/tty/drivers and cat /proc/tty/driver/serial.

grep -e 'ttyS[0-9]' /var/log/messages showed no results

i did try using ttyS but was no communication detected with the UPS.

How about /dev/ttyS0 ? That seems to exist.
