Really struggling here, any help would be appreciated, I'm not a Linux Guru, but understand some of it

I am currently running SDC on Linux Mint and want to control my Expert Amp from it, however my serial ports come from a Moxa Nport serial server and the TTY allocations are ttyr0  not ttys0, as moxa like to call them "real" ports. is it possible to have these included in the Com port dropdown in SDC, particularly the PA tab. My current port allocations are ttyr08 to ttyr0f

The Moxa Nport is not a USB device, it is a serial port server which allocates ports in linux as ttyr0 etc instead of the normal ttys0 etc and has its own linux driver. The ports are showing on my PC in the /sys/class/tty, but not showing in the dropdown on SDC under ports for PA control.
How can I make these ttyr0 etc ports available in SDC? I have tried mapping them using various techniques including setting a udev rule which does not work


Regards

Charlie, SDC doesn't make up port names; it simply displays the names provided by the operating system. If these names are incorrect, then there is a problem with the device's driver or with the system itself

1. Close SDC.
2. Open the file home\user\LwSoft\sdc19.ini in a text editor.
3. Find the [PA] section.
4. Find the line PA%20Control%201\PortName=...
5. Enter a new name, such as: ttyr01, or /dev/ttyr01, ...
6. Save the changes.
7. Run SDC.

Try other names: /sys/class/ttyr01...
