I've had a serial port listed in USB hardware in the System Report awhile back but don't remember how I got it.
How do I get a Serial Port on a Mac?
/dev/tty.usbmodem14631
on repetier-server, host would show only usbmodem14631 I think. The thing on mac is that the name depends on the usb port you are using. But normally you need not do anything to get your serial port. It just appears as soon as the printer is connected.
You don’t really have or get native serialport to you mac.
your 3d printer acts like one when you connect your mac to it if you are lucky you have proper kernel modules that understands that behind you printers usb port is serial device..
