Cutecom with PL2303??

raedbenz · 06-06-2008, 07:17 AM

HI,,
what are the settings for hardware like ttyS0 or ttyS1 etc.. for using cutecom with USB to serial converter PL2303 ..???

(rather than baud, parity etc..)

USB to serial adapters should work just like a normal serial port, so whatever settings your device requires to connect would be the same.

Are you having a specific problem establishing a connection?

Hi all...

I'm just starting out with linux myself, and I just finished installing cutecom with the PL2303 adapter to use with my Cisco equipment. I have installed the ttyUSB0, however, cutecom only sees ttyS0 through ttyS3. How do I configure cutecom to see ttyUSB0?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

hi,
type in the device field:
/dev/ttyUSB0

Thank you for your reply.

I typed it in, which gave me an error cannot open ttyUSB0. When I type dmesg _ grep ttyUSB in a terminal window, it shows "usb 4-1: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0". I am assuming that the converter is assigned ttyUSB0, but is there any way to test this connection not using cutecom?

Thanks again for all your help.

hi,
actually i dont know other ways.
you can try another software similar to cutecom, e.g. minicom

Perhaps it is a permissions issue? Have you tried accessing the USB serial adapter as root?

deehboi · 07-11-2008, 08:09 AM

Hi there,

Is signing in as root the same as superuser? Also, how do I connect to the usb adapter using root? I apologize for I am brand spanking new with linux.

Thanks for your assistance, MS3FGX.

I'm kind of working on the same thing, I see this is a few weeks old, but to answer your last question, run;

Code:

sudo cutecom

Also, I think cutecom is case sensitive so try typing /dev/ttyUSB0 for the device, thats what I use, and I havent gotten into my router just yet, but there is no errors when I click Open Device.

hi,
actually the "sudo cutecom" also didnt work for file transferring.

in my case ttyUSB0 works fine and i can get into my machine , but the only problem is when i try to use xmodem or ymodem to transfer files.
i also tried to send file using minicom and GTkTerm but it didnt work.
thanks
