I just installed a USB dialup modem into my Freenas system. I have a jail running NCID and had a external modem connected to the serial COM port (/dev/cuau0) which failed and thus now having to use a USB modem. When I plug the USB modem it is recognised by the system as ugen4.4.
# usbconfig
ugen0.1: <UHCI root HUB Intel> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA)
ugen1.1: <UHCI root HUB Intel> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA)
ugen2.1: <UHCI root HUB Intel> at usbus2, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA)
ugen3.1: <UHCI root HUB Intel> at usbus3, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA)
ugen4.1: <EHCI root HUB Intel> at usbus4, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA)
ugen1.2: <USB-Serial Controller Prolific Technology Inc.> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON (100mA)
ugen4.2: <Cruzer Facet SanDisk> at usbus4, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON (200mA)
ugen4.3: <Cruzer Facet SanDisk> at usbus4, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON (200mA)
ugen4.4: <Agere USB2.0 V.92 SoftModem Agere Systems> at usbus4, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON (200mA)
Problem is that I can't make ugen4.4 point to a new /dev/cuau0 port. Nothing appears with a 'ls -l /dev/cuau*' with the exception of the original serial COM1 port. Is there anything I need to do to make the system generate a virtual serial port through ugen4.4? I'm thinking I need to make some changes in other files located in /etc but its unclear in my research. I've performed multiple restarts to no avail.
My system is:
Build FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201503150158
Platform Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2180 @ 2.00GHz
Memory 4067MB
FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE-p10 FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE-p10
Hoping a member has had the same problem and resolved this. Going back to a COM1 solution is not an option unfortunately. So the overall goal is to make the USB port behave like a serial port so I can sent Hayes AT commands through the port. Appreciate any help in pointing me in the right direction.
