RE : Mux problem

[Vincent_5]

Hi Guys,
This may sound a little bit stupid, as this is the first time I install a mux card. The part no. is A6748A is a 8 port mux. I'm installing it in a Rp2405. I manage to install the software Termxx and when I run i'o scan it shows that the card is claimed with path 0/4/0/0. But, it did not reflect any device file. Is this normal ??? Btw, there isn't any physical hardware device connected to the mux port , Have I connect to connect any device b4 I can get the device file generated?? I also understand that the 8 port is actually RJ11 connectors, is there any serial cable that I can use to connect a notebook to this port?? Please advice??
