Hi Erwan, There are two serial ports on the shimmer dock, one for programming the shimmer, and the other for communicating with it: http://www.shimmer-research.com/links/faqs#H12
You need to use the second one. I.e. in your case you probably need to run: net.tinyos.tools.Listen -comm serial@/dev/ttyUSB1:shimmer I don't know why you mention a power switch, but fyi the original shimmer (shimmer1.3) did not have a power switch, but they have not been available since mid 2009. The new versions (shimmer2 and shimmer2r) can, however, be turned off (by holding the reset button for 7 seconds or greater). A brief press of the reset switch will power them back on.
