Connection example: Connection to the USB interface of a computer
The USB interface in the antenna is addressed as a virtual serial interface (virtual
COM port). Usually the corresponding virtual COM port driver is installed automati
-
cally under current versions of Microsoft® Windows®.
If the transponder antenna is not automatically recognized as virtual COM port after
establishing the USB connection, the STM32 Virtual COM Port Driver (STSW-
STM32102) must be installed manually.
The driver can be downloaded at the following address:

8.2 Configuring the Terminal Program
Any compatible terminal program can be used, examples are HyperTerminal® or
Tera Term®. HyperTerminal was included in earlier versions of Microsoft® Win
-
dows®. It can also be downloaded for all Windows® versions from the Internet at
the following address:
https://www.hilgraeve.com/hyperterminal/
However, any other terminal program that can handle ANSI emulation can also be
used. If you use another program, please refer to the documentation supplied with
the program and set it to values mentioned below.
If you use another terminal program:
Refer to the documentation supplied with the terminal program.
NOTICE
Damage to the transponder antenna or other devices connected via USB.
The USB interface does not have a leading ground contact. Plugging or
unplugging USB connectors while the voltage supply is connected can cause
voltage spikes that will damage devices connected via USB.
Always disconnect the transponder antenna from the voltage supply before
plugging or unplugging USB connectors. This applies, for example, to the
USB connector on the computer and connector X1 (Power) on the
transponder antenna.
