7.2. Find the Assigned COM Port

When the Genesys™ USB power supply drivers are installed and the device is detected, the drivers

dynamically assign a COM port to the connection. Since your computer may have a number of serial

ports, finding the one assigned to the Genesys™ USB can be a challenge.

For Windows XP, right-click My Computer and select Properties.

Open the Hardware

The following picture shows that the Genesys™ USB has been installed as COM4.

There are a variety of terminal communication utilities which sends your typed characters down the USB

cable and displays any characters sent back.

Up through Windows XP, the HyperTerminal program was installed with the operating system. The

following pictures are taken from it.

If you have any other operating system, or if you want an alternative to HyperTerminal, a web search will

find many alternative programs.
