Serial Port Name

[muno]

Hi

I use a Mac OS X el Capitan with a R820T USB dongle.
But I have the following problem.
I can not find out which is my Serial Port Name:

The RTL's don't create a serial port, what are you trying to do?

In your manual it says:

"The only step left is to tell our client about your receiver. If using a USB connected receiver you will need to know your serial port name.

To find this open Terminal and enter: ls /dev/tty*

This will list your serial ports. A typical output is shown below:

/dev/tty

/dev/tty.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port
/dev/tty.Bluetooth-Modem
/dev/tty.usbserial-0002014A
/dev/tty.usbserial-0002014B
/dev/ttyp0

It should be possible to identify the USB ports. If two ports are listed then use the B option as shown below:

But I can not find any

 

[Lee Armstrong]

That section sounds like it is for the Kinetic based receivers and not the RTL's?

Suggest you get Dump1090 installed and then connect our client to that

Hi Lee
I have Dump1090 installed. But how can I find out the Serial Port Name?

 

[Lee Armstrong]

It will then be a TCP connection, try the Beast Binary format to 127.0.0.1 30005 (if our client is on the same machine as Dump1090)

Thats what i get:

Failed TCP connection to all provided addresses for: 127.0.0.1:30005
