3.3.1 NETUSB Software Interface

Once connected to a USB port, the NETUSB will appear as a COM port in the Device Manager. The
NETUSB will always use the lowest available COM port for operation. For instance, if COM ports 1 thru 3
are in use by other peripherals and applications, the NETUSB will use COM 4.
The NETUSB functions identically to a COM port from the reference point of both the host application and
the serial device, and it can support serial device control requests defined in the Microsoft Win32
Communications API.
Software setup requires installing the NETUSB Drivers. The utility will copy the driver files to a specified
directory or the default directory, "C:\SiLabs\MCU\CP2101. Each set of drivers will be extracted to an
appropriately named directory, for example WIN.
