How to know what USB port the V8BT is connected to.
(Windows XP,7, 8)
When you connect a peripheral to a USB port on a PC, the PC automatically assigns it a port number. The peripheral is
often automatically recognised by the application software; thus it is not necessary to configure it. This is the case with
printers, scanners, etc.
Other types of application software need to have the communication port assigned by the PC indicated to them, in some
cases with other information such as the communication speed, the form of the data transmitted, etc.
As regards the V8BT, it is possible that the right port will be automatically assigned by the PC to the application software,
but it is also quite likely that you will have to choose it yourself from all the ports offered to you. You can of course try
them one after the other, but in some cases the PC’s peripheral configuration system will propose dozens of them…
In this case we suggest a more rational method which will also allow you to check that your V8BT’s readerr is correctly
installed.
