The configuation prompt is only for devices that are connected either by serial, USB to serial, and bluetooth.

Luke, this is probably misleading to the ordinary user, because
basically all the USB connected braille devices which use
a USB to serial adaptor do so internally.  So the user usually
has no idea that his device uses a USB to serial adaptor, to the
user, its just a USB display.  This is also how it is advertised by
manufacturers or resellers.  The fact that a USB to serial adaptor is
used internally is a technical detail usually only known by support
staff or similar.
