sudo lsusb yields the following:
I tried:
sudo mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0
sudo mknod /dev/ttyUSB1 c 188 1
sudo mknod /dev/ttyUSB2 c 188 2
sudo mknod /dev/ttyUSB3 c 188 3
Then tried connecting putty to /dev/ttyUSB0 as well as /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 with no avail. Also,
dmesg | grep tty

Solved. Below is total work performed to resolve issue.
1. Physically connect USB-Serial Device
2. Verified adpater via "sudo lsusb"
3. Used sudo mknod /dev/ttyusb0 c 188 0
4. Added user to dialout security group
5. Configured putty to run with higher privileges. I did this because "sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB0" would let me connect to my switch via the console port, but putty would not work until I elevated it's privileges.
