Wondering what kind of support there is for USB to TCP/IP support on the Digi transport routers. Cheers, John ---

“Depends”. What are you wanting to plug into the USB port? The USB ports can be used for mass storage devices (USB keys/external hard drives) or serial devices based on Prolific or FTDI chipsets (serial adapters/GPS adapters/TTL adapters). If it is a serial device plugged into the USB port then you can do the same as you would for a fixed serial port. ---

What would the TCP port number be in that case? ---

Well first you would check it enumerates with the “busb show” command ss325999\>busb show BUSBcmd BUS 1 dev:1 (usb) depth:0 Marvell EHCI root hub (HUB driver)(ports:1) dev:2 (usb-1) depth:1 vendor 0x0424 product 0x2514 (HUB driver)(ports:4) dev:3 (usb-1.1) depth:2 Sierra Wireless, Incorporated MC7710 (UMSM driver)(QMI driver) dev: dev: dev:4 (usb-1.4) depth:2 FTDI USB HS SERIAL CONVERTER (UFTDI driver) OK Then you would see what the matching asy port is with the “asydevs” command: ss325999\>asydevs ASY 5 assigned to usb-1.1 interface: 3 ASY 6 assigned to usb-1.1 interface: 0 ASY 7 assigned to usb-1.1 interface: 2 ASY 8 assigned to usb-1.4 interface: 0 ASY 9 unassigned ASY 10 unassigned OK Then you can telnet to port 4008. You should to lock these configurations so the asy ports dont change over a reboot. ---

Hi Nicholas: I plugged in my device and it looked like this: ss398837\>busb show BUSBcmd BUS 1 dev:1 (usb) depth:0 Marvell EHCI root hub (HUB driver)(ports:1) dev:2 (usb-1) depth:1 vendor 0x0424 product 0x2514 (HUB driver)(ports:4) dev:3 (usb-1.1) depth:2 HUAWEI Technology HUAWEI Mobile (CDCE driver)(UMSM driver) dev: dev: dev:4 (usb-1.4) depth:2 TRIMBLE Instrument-Mgr OK ss398837\>asydevs ASY 5 assigned to usb-1.1 interface: 2 ASY 6 assigned to usb-1.1 interface: 3 ASY 7 assigned to usb-1.1 interface: 4 ASY 8 unassigned ASY 9 unassigned ASY 10 unassigned OK It looks as though the WR44 doesn’t know what to do with the usb-1.4. What are your thoughts? Cheers, John ---

That means that there is no driver loaded which means the product is not built on a FTDI or Prolific chipset.
