What does ttyUSB mean? Sometimes, the embedded microcontroller does not come with a hardware USB interface. While it is possible to use a software-only USB stack, the additional constraints put onto the CPU and the usually small storage size often lead board designers to include a dedicated UART to USB bridge.
Because of a busy weekend I didn't really follow up other than via emails and this still hasn't been resolved. The consistent word from them was that porting a number sometimes takes 24 to 48 hours.. I spoke to a rep by phone today who promised it would be done within 2 to 4 hours.. It wasn't.
A specific network port is identified by its number commonly referred to as port number, the IP address in which the port is associated with and the type of transport protocol used for the communication. A port number is a 16-bit unsigned integer that ranges from 0 to 65535.
