USB to Serial for Mac OS X
USB RS232 - FTDI designs and supplies USB semiconductor devices with Legacy support including royalty-free drivers. Application areas include USB RS232, ( USB Serial ), USB Parallel, USB Docking Stations, and upgrades of Legacy designs to USB. The DIGITUS® USB 2.0 serial adapter is a practical solution for serial connectivity. RS232 serial interfaces are no longer available on new hardware, so the DIGITUS® USB 2.0 serial adapter enables data exchange between a computer USB 2.0 port and peripheral devices with serial.

Please contact us if you cannot find the driver or manual you are looking for and we will be glad to help you find it. You can also try going to the product page for this and other documentation on your product. Drivers & Manuals. All StarTech.com product IDs can be identified by a combination of letters and numbers. For example, such as USB2VGAE3 or USB32VGAEH. Typically, the product ID can be found on the unit itself, but it can also be found on the packaging it came in.
The driver for the cable can be downloaded from the Prolific website, however we have found an open source driver, which does the job and more over gives some better performance. We recommend you download the open source driver.
After you have installed the driver, connect your cable to any of your free USB ports. Mac OS X will automatically create a serial device, which can be found in /dev. Start a terminal session and list all available serial (or tty) devices available. Type the following:
Usb To Serial For Mac Driver 64-bit
ls -l /dev/tty*
Find the entry that is referring to your cable. Typically this should look similar to:
/dev/tty.PL2303-0002600D
Now that we have identified our new serial device, we can start connecting to a radio. Most people will use a Terminal Emulator, but as most of these programs were built pre-Leopard, you may find some difficulties running them on new(er) Mac hardware. We simply use the built-in screen program on Mac OS. So in the same terminal window, simply type:
screen /dev/tty.PL2303-0002600D 57600
Usb To Serial For Mac Driver Win 7
You can obviously change the baud rate or any other options to what you need to connect to your specific device. Ten-Tec Omni-VII uses a baud rate of 57600. We did notice that every time you connect and re-connect the cable’s tty device id changes.
