system will ask for the ‘ftdiport.cat’ file. This can
be skipped (‘Skip File’ button).

pop-up that new hardware is found, recognized
as USB Serial Port.

Drivers Disk’, click on OK and in the next screen
skip this action.

trol Panel’ – (‘System’) – ‘System Properties’
(‘Hardware’) – ‘Device Manager’-menu if the
‘USB High Speed Serial Converter’ is recog-
nized.
