i need to take some data from one of the equipments that i am dealing in job. So i have to connect my Mac through a RS232/USB cable. Is it required to install additional driver to OS X Yosemite 10.10.3.
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
Macs do not have serial ports. You would need something like a USB to RS-232 adapter.
Hello,
I think that all the RS232/USB cables are not supported by default in OS X because each cable has its own driver,
you can check if your cable supports OSX in it's manufacturers website and download the drivers from there
I managed to find WCH341-Terminal in the middle of a crisis trying to get my cheap USB-RS232 to work. The application (to not be confused with a driver) worked off the bat, it is not a driver but a program. I could not believe it. If you go to System Information and USB and your USBtoSerial Adapter is showing up as USB2.0-Ser! Product ID 0x7523 this will work magically. I'm running El Capitan (and the app is two or three years old so should be backwards compatible).
can i connect RS232 cable to my Mac? or do i need to install additional driver to support?
