USB Device Port

You must connect the PanelView USB device port to a USB host that is
connected to the same ground system. This port can be used for connecting to a
computer to transfer applications, fonts, and images.

Install the USB Driver

Follow these steps to install the USB driver on your computer.

1. Go to

w-Component-C400-Terminals

to download the USB driver.

2. Run the installer, PanelView Component USB Driver.exe.

The installer extracts and runs an Install Shield Wizard.

ATTENTION: Removing the USB flash drive or SD card, from the
PanelView Component terminal, while a firmware upgrade is in
process, could corrupt the firmware and make the terminal
unusable. Take precautions to prevent the USB flash drive or SD
card from being accidentally disconnected. Also, do not power off
the terminal while a firmware upgrade is in progress.

ATTENTION: USB hubs can produce unexpected behaviors and as
a result are not recommended.

IMPORTANT

Before connecting your computer to the USB port of the
PanelView Component terminal, you must first install the
Allen-Bradley PanelView USB remote NDIS Network Device
driver on your computer.

IMPORTANT

The USB RNDIS driver is only supported on Windows XP and
Windows Vista operating systems. It is not supported by the
Windows 2000 operating system.
