How to find the serial port number on Mac OS X? Ask Question Asked 7 years, 7 months ago. Active 2 years, 11 months ago. Not sure about OSX but on other systems you can monitor the serial port by going to Tools-Serial Port Monitor in the Arduino IDE – Moog Sep 4 '12 at 9:04. Sep 17, 2015 Hi there, I have an FTDI based system that I am able to communicate with fine on a Linux machine using: talk -d /dev/ttyUSB0 but I would like to do programming using my Mac (running 10.9.5). The FTDI drivers came with Mavericks, and I can see the device just fine as /dev/tty.usbserial-A123456. Mac Command Line - List Available Serial Ports? On my Mac, i currently have the available serial ports. How to get serial port list in Mac OSX using TCL. Jun 05, 2014 Serial makes it easy to connect your Mac to almost anything with a serial port, including routers, switches, PBXs, embedded devices and more. In addition to a full-featured terminal emulator, Serial includes built-in, user-space drivers for many popular devices, saving you the hassle of finding, installing, and updating drivers. Open BlueDV by clicking on the icon in the taskbar or double-click from within Crossover 2. Launch the software and turn off “SERIAL” if it is already enabled.

It was developed specifically for the Mac and is not a port of a Windows program. It was developed specifically for the Mac and is not a port of a Windows program.
A couple thing come to mind
1) if the device is set to dhcp just let it pickup an address and then inspect the dhcp server for the mac address assigned.
2) set up this device on a switch port and then wireshark on a mirrored port. Setup wireshark the power on the device. The hope here is that the device will transmit something when first powered on. Like a hello I'm here.. You should see this message with wireshark. The data packet will also include the mac address.

Hello,
Please find below an interesting trick to work around the fact that Wine / CrossOver is not capable to handle the RS232 or COM ports properly:
the idea is to use Tera Term Pro to connect to a network 'localhost' telnet session (instead of a RS232 serial port) which in turn starts (via inetd)
the Linux application 'microcom' (instead of the expected shell) to finally pipe the Tera Term Pro data connection into the desired RS232 port.
This sounds like a quite complicated way but Linux can handle such a setup very efficiently.
The only draw back is that it is not possible to change the COM parameters from within Tera Term Pro. So this setup can be achieved by:
1) adding the following line to the inetd config file '/etc/inetd.conf':
'2323 stream tcp nowait root /bin/busybox telnetd -i -p 2323 -l /usr/bin/ttpro'
Please note that since the busybox telnet daemon is used there no need to enter any credentials.
2) and create the shell script '/usr/bin/ttpro' which in turn starts microcom with the desired RS232 communication parameters
(in this example 115200 Bauds and the port /dev/ttyUSB0)
'microcom -s 115200 -p /dev/ttyUSB0'
3) Finally after restarting inetd by '/etc/init.d/inetd restart', it is just necessary to launch Tera Term Pro and open a telnet connection
to the host 'localhost' and port '2323' which practically connects automatically to the port ttyUSB0 at a speed of 115200 Bauds.
In all cases this is only a work around and a native Linux version of Tera Term Pro would be a much better deal.
I tested this setup on Knoppix 7.0.5 but it should work the same way on most Linux distributions.
I hope this is helpful. Please provide some feedback.
Best Regards,
Gilles
