How to know what USB port the V8 is connected to.
Windows XP
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 V8, 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 V8’s driver is correctly
installed.
