The newly installed driver, AirLink USB Serial Port, should be 
displayed. 

Tip: If the driver is displayed with a # and number behind the driver
name (such as, AirLink USB Serial Port #2), it means more than one
is installed on your computer, most likely for different USB port. More
than one copy of the driver should not cause any problems since only
the connected port and its driver would be active.

To connect to the modem using the USB virtual serial, most 
applications or utilities will require you to select or enter the 
serial (COM) port number. The USB connection will appear as 
a standard serial port, so you will need to determine its 
number to connect to it. The driver installation will automati‐
cally assign a port or you can change it if you wish to another 
unused port.
