Strange serial device

Hello.


By I chance I found strange serial device on my iMac (mid 2010, OS X 10.11.6):


On terminal, execute 'ls /dev/{tty,**}.*:'

There I have strange one serial and one terminal devices

/dev/**.DanielS5611V-SerialPort

/dev/tty.DanielS5611V-SerialPort


I cannot explain those two devices. Maybe one you know more about this.


Thank you in advanced.

Do you have or have you ever owned a Samsung GT-S5611V phone?


The phone presents a serial port to the operating system when attached to the computer, and created devices don't get deleted when the device is ejected in case they're needed again sometime in the future.
