The Actisense USB driver has been extensively tested
with Windows versions from Windows 98SE to Windows 7
and is proven to work with the NDC-4. The driver comes in
twopartsandbotharerequiredforcorrectoperation.The
rstisthe‘USB serial converter’ driver and the second is
the ‘Virtual serial port’ driver.
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. Install instructions are
available on the CD and the Actisense website (www.
actisense.com).
Drivers for MAC OS X are provided ‘as is’ and Actisense
is unable to offer support for MAC related issues. To
download the drivers visit the Actisense website (www.

Installation Guide
Windows 7 and Windows Vista
The following instructions are for Windows 7. Although not
the same, Windows Vista users will be able to use this
information to install the drivers as well.
With an active Internet connection the process is very
simple. Connect the USB cable and Windows will
automatically download and install the latest driver from
Windows update. Both drivers are now installed and no
further steps are required.
When there is no Internet connection Windows will fail to
install the driver.
Follow these steps to manually install the drivers from the
Actisense CD or a copy downloaded from the Actisense
website.
1. Open ‘Device Manager’ (from the start menu type
‘device manager’inthesearchbox,openitfromthelist).
2. Find the NDC-4 under ‘Other devices’ and right click,
then select ‘Update Driver Software’.
3. If the CD is inserted select ‘Search automatically for
updated driver software’andjumptostep4.
Without the CD select ‘Browse my computer for driver
software’.
