USB to Serial Converter on Serial Modem
How do I set the USB to Serial Converter to recognize a serial modem? I know that the converter is recognized because when I try to open USB View it is displayed correctly as "prolific usb to serial controller".I even tried to transfer the connection between the 3 usb ports I have and it also is recognized on all 3.
when I connect a serial modem the modem does not work.I do not know how to configure it to be "seen" as connected to the converter. PLease help me! |
Maybe the kenel module isn't loaded. In the lsmod output you should see a module named pl2303. If it's not there try this command as root:
Code:
modprobe pl2303 |
Yes I did that.and in addition "modprobe usbserial".no effect at all.It is even listed when I do lsmod. But when I try to use kppp the modem is not responding.It says modem ready but there are no lights indicating activity.
Then I removed the modem from the usb to serial converter.It still says "modem ready" so it is not detecting the modem itself but instead it is detecting the converter circuit as a modem. I confirmed this when I disconnected the usb to serial conv.The "modem ready" signal disappeared.I get a "unable to query modem". the usb to serial converter works perfectly on xp BTW. |
Solved!
ln -b /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/modem |
