D-link Dns 323 Drivers For Mac

In one of my personal projects, I needed to connect and use a USB to RS232 (Serial) converter on my D-Link DNS-323. Weird requirements, I know. Anyway… 😐
Plenty of these converters exist out there, but I choose to go for a CP2102:

Innocently, I first tried to compile the code source of this module which can be found on the following page:

After a few painful and unsuccessful tries, I decided to look around for the already-compiled module. 😉
While wondering why I didn’t think of that before, I used the instructions below to install the required modules on my NAS:

System Requirements. 1GHz Processor / 512 MB RAM. 200MB available space. CD-ROM drive. Internet Explorer 6.0 or Mozilla Firefox 1.0 and above. 3.5” Internal SATA Hard Drive. Windows XP SP2 or Windows 2000 SP6 Package Contents. D-Link DNS-323 2-Bay Network.

Once the modules are installed, the next step is to initialize them.
I wrote the following script for this purpose so you can execute it anytime you need it:

At this point in time, you should have your module initialized on your D-Link DNS-323.
You can check the kernel ring buffer using the dmesg command to verify it loaded properly.
This is a snapshot of what I have in my kernel ring buffer after I ran the script above:

Finally, you can test the communication with your USB to RS232 converter by connecting a LED between the RXD and 3V outputs and running the following script:

If you see the LED blinking, it means you succeed! 😀
