Why doesn't Zaber device show up in dev directory?


My Zaber device is X-MCB2, which is connected to my computer through USB. Command lsusb can show its information as below, but cannot find it in /dev directory.

Bus 003 Device 023: ID 2939:495b

There is another Arduino device connected to my computer as well. Unlike Zaber device, this Arduino device works well, its name in /dev is ttyACM0.

Even if I plugged out the Arduino device, the Zaber device still does NOT show up in /dev directory.

My linux kernel is 2.6.32, and this Zaber device shouldn't need additional driver.
