3.1.10 Universal Serial Bus (USB) Port and LEDs

NovAtel USB drivers are available for Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista and
Windows 7 to provide three virtual serial ports over a single USB 2.0 connection using the ProPak6's
USB Device port. The USB drivers are digitally signed and officially supported on Microsoft Windows XP,
Windows Vista and Windows 7. They can also be installed on Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows
Server 2003 but are not WHQL signed in those applications.

A computer may have several USB ports. The assignment of COM port numbers is tied
to a USB port on the computer. This allows receivers to be switched without Microsoft
Windows assigning new COM ports. However, if the receiver is connected to a different
physical USB port, Windows detects the receiver's presence and assigns three new
COM port numbers by default.
The NovAtel USB Configuration Utility, installed with the NovAtel USB drivers, is used to change the
COM port numbers assigned to the virtual serial ports. Refer to the NovAtel PC Utilities manual for
instructions or check for updates to the drivers and release notes at www.novatel.com/support.
