The USB to Com virtual port is now available to the PC’s operating system. To complete the
install process, click on the “Finish” button. To verify the virtual com port is available, you
can access the Windows System Properties screen, select the Hardware tab and open the
Windows Device Manager screen. The USB redirector should be listed under “Ports (COM
& LPT)” as shown in the image below. The com port number is automatically assigned.
Note the com port number for subsequent reference in your application software or when
selected the COM port in the Gui Interface screen. This port number may be changed by
opening the USB redirector properties and clicking on Port Settings, then Advanced, and
selecting which port to use from the COM Port number drop down box.
