Most of the current transceiver boards are equipped with a USB connector. If the USB cord is plugged into the PC, the OS will load a driver and assign a virtual serial port. Before starting the sniffer, the name of the serial port needs to be determined.
The device names are usually:
/dev/ttyS[0-9]
for regular RS232 serial ports,/dev/ttyUSB[0-9]
for FTDI and CP210x based boards and/dev/ttyACM[0-9]
for CDC devices like the Raven RZUSB stick.The assigned name of a serial port can be found with the command dmesg
.
The name of the assigned COM port can be found with the Device Manager. A quick way to open this tool (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_Manager) is either to type devmgmt.msc
in cmd.exe
window or click: Start -> Run -> devmgmt.msc -> OK
