1. USB Connection

After completing the Driver Installation instructions above, plug the
iPort/USB 2 adapter into a free USB port on your host computer or self-
powered USB hub. If this is the first time the iPort/USB 2 is connected to the
host computer, the operating system will automatically install the VCP driver
and assign the iPort/USB 2 a communications port address (COMn, /dev).
You can find the ComPort number assigned to the iPort/USB 2 by running the
iPort Utility Pack Message Center or Message Manager software, and
selecting the iPort/USB 2 device, use Windows Device Manager (Start |
Settings | Control Panel | System | Device Manager | Ports (COM & LPT)), or
use the OS X or Linux ls /dev command to find the communications port
address assigned to the iPort/USB 2.
