No, just DEVICE

If you have a USB UPS, the essential elements of your apcupsd.conf file 
should look like the following:

## apcupsd.conf v1.1 ##
UPSCABLE usb
UPSTYPE usb
DEVICE
LOCKFILE /var/lock
UPSCLASS standalone
UPSMODE disable

Notice that we have not specified a device. In doing so, apcupsd will try 
all the well known USB ports.
