[Cinaed Simson]

Hi Nic - on any Linux system - and the Mac is Linux based - try typing 
in a terminal window.

      dmesg

This might require root privilege

At the end of the of output in the terminal window will be the device 
and system port being used.

For example, in the case where you unplug the device and plug it back 
in,  on my system it prints out

[755460.454330] ftdi_sio 1-1.3:1.0: FTDI USB Serial Device converter 
detected
[755460.455664] usb 1-1.3: Detected FT232RL
[755460.459439] usb 1-1.3: Number of endpoints 2
[755460.463865] usb 1-1.3: Endpoint 1 MaxPacketSize 64
[755460.468770] usb 1-1.3: Endpoint 2 MaxPacketSize 64
[755460.473483] usb 1-1.3: Setting MaxPacketSize 64
[755460.478739] usb 1-1.3: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached 
to ttyUSB0
