  • Run the software for the first time. Wine will other required software:
    wine TRConfig.exe

  • Exit TRConfig (No, then Abbrechen).

    ls -l /dev/serial/by-id/*SCS*
    lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 13 Feb 11 11:36 /dev/serial/by-id/usb-SCS_SCS_Tracker___DSP_TNC_PTXZ6ZLZ-if00-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB0
  • Create a new symbolic link to ttyUSB0, for example com5:
    ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com5
  • Edit the registry:
    vi ~/.wine/system.reg

  • Now you can start the software again and configure TRConfig using COM5.
