USB Driver Installation

(NDC-4-A-USB Only - Note standard NDC-4 units can be

upgraded to USB by purchasing a USB upgrade kit).

The Actisense NDC-4 makes use of a virtual serial port

driver (know as the Virtual COM Port Driver) to interface

between the USB port on the PC and the Actisense

product. This driver allows software running on a PC

to communicate with the Actisense NDC-4 as if it was

connected to a standard serial port on the PC, when in fact

all communication is done over the USB connection.

The required driver installation comes in two separate

packages. The rst driver is a called the ‘Serial Converter’

which converts the USB data packets to a serial data

stream. The second driver, called the ‘Actisense NDC

USB Serial Port’, makes the USB connection appear as a

COM port in the Windows™ Device Manager.

The NDC-4 with USB connection has been extensively

tested with both Windows™ XP and Windows™ 98 SE.

For the experienced Windows™ XP user who is used to

installing drivers, this section will be very familiar. To all

other Windows™ users, the required steps are detailed

below to help with installation.

The steps for Windows™ 98 SE are very similar to those

of Windows™ XP and so are not detailed here.

The Actisense CD also contains the USB drivers for

Windows™ 2000. These drivers have not been tested by

Actisense, but should operate in the same manner as the

Windows™ 98 SE and XP drivers.

The required Linux drivers are already included in the Linux

kernels from v2.4.20 and onwards. However, Actisense

has not been able to test the compatibility of the NDC-4

with USB and this driver.

For MAC OS 8, 9, and X please contact Actisense for

details (refer to the Contact Information section).

Step by step guide

1. Connect the Actisense NDC-4 to an available USB

port on the PC. The standard Windows™ ‘Found New

Hardware Wizard’ window will then appear.

Select the ‘No, not this time’ option, to allow driver

installation from the Actisense CD which was supplied

with your Actisense product.

2. Insert the Actisense CD, choose the ‘Install from a list

or specic location’ option, and click ‘Next’.
