Thank you for your quick response.
It's  just simple python code. I'm not sure if flow control is correct. 
I also used gtkterm and tried by every option.  I'm new at usbserial 
devices. How to know how should it be?

    import time
    import serial
    import sys

    ser = serial.Serial(
         port='/dev/ttyUSB0',
         baudrate=4800,
         parity=serial.PARITY_ODD,
         stopbits=serial.STOPBITS_ONE,
         bytesize=serial.EIGHTBITS,
         # timeout=0
    )

    # RTS 0 DTR 1. not sure it's correct one. I tried by reverse.
    ser.setRTS(False)
    ser.setDTR(True)


    print ser.isOpen()

    ON="\x1B\x5D"
    ser.write(ON)
    ser.flushOutput()
    print "after write"
    # read = ser.read()
    # sys.stdout.write("RECEIVED:" + read + "\n")
    ser.close()

That's a slow baud rate, do you mean that slow?

Does your device support hardware flow control?

Try using minicom to see if you can properly connect to your device
first, before trying to write your own code from "scratch", to determine
that the device works.

I'm sorry. E-mail subject was wrong. I just wanted to find good direction.
Ok, I'll try by minicom.

You usually need to set this up on the device itself.  The manual for the
device should say how to do this.

Again, please try running minicom on Linux which sets up the line settings
in a "known manner" before blaming the kernel driver :)

     Device is working fine on windows 7. My simple python scripts is 
working fine without setting any options except port name (on win7).
