I have this adapter and I'm trying desperately to mount it in Ubuntu so I can use can-utils to monitor the device but I'm failing.
I'm trying to communicate with a serial to the can-bus adapter in 14.04 with can-utils
this is the canopen device I'm trying to get at and this is the adapter I'm using
dmesg:
[ 4316.555254] usb 3-3: new full-speed USB device number 8 using xhci_hcd

That is dmesg output
for the device
Which I think is the device.
lsusb gives me:
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 1a86:7523 QinHeng Electronics HL-340 USB-Serial adapter
I've managed to mount it to slcan0
like so:
sudo slcand -o -s6 -t hw -S 3000000 /dev/ttyUSB2
ip link set up slcan0
IP link then gives me:
6: slcan1: <NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16 qdisc pfifo_fast state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 10
link/can
No matter what I then throw it via can-send I can't get a response back…

I know this is a very old thread. But it is still unanswered and while I was searching for a solution I stumbled upon this thread.
The solution to this problem is that slcand does not support this interface. To use it anyway a mapper between the interface and socket can must be used. This adapter can be found at https://github.com/alexmohr/usb-can
After install just run
usbcan -s 500000 -d /dev/ttyUSB0
