Usb Serial, Mac os and a Cisco switch
List device names
ls /dev/cu.*
A list similar to this should show up.
mba:~ root# ls /dev/cu.*
/dev/cu.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem **/dev/cu.usbserial**
connect using cu
cu -l /dev/usb.serial -s 9600
If you do not see a usb serial device, you can list all your usb devices with this command
system_profiler SPUSBDataType
Which in my case showed my Prolific usb adapter
