quired. If you haven’t an appropriate authorisation please consult your system administrator.
- Insert driver disk into the drive of your PC
- Start the installer
CP210XVCPInstaller.exe
from drive.
- Follow the instructions of the install wizard
- Plug in the USB-plug connector of the CPA2500 into the USB-connection of your PC
- Now the CPA2500 will be installed automatically with the actual driver.
Now the CPA2500 is installed on your system and available for all users.
For application with our software a new additional COM-Port is available. (quod vide chapter 6)
4 Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
4.1 How to check, whether the adapter has been installed correctly and via which
COM-port can I approach the installed adapter?
Start the Device-Manager (Win XP: click start \ (settings) \ control panel \ performance and maintenance \
system \
hardware) and open the submenu “Ports (COM & LPT)”
If the
installation was successful, there will be the entry “
CP210X USB to UART Bridge Controller (COM
x)
”, in which the x after the Com indicates the available COM-port (i.e. COM 4).
Note: The adapter will not be shown in the device manager, if it is not connected to the PC.
If the entry is occupied by an exclamation mark or the entry is not there, then the driver has not been
installed correctly.
4.2 How to change the COM-port of the adapter?
Make sure that the adapter is connected, start the Device-Manager (Win XP: click start \ (settings) \ con-
trol panel \ performance and maintenance \ system \
hardware) and open the submenu “Ports (COM &
LPT)”. If the installation was successful, there will be the entry “
CP210X USB to UART Bridge Controller
(COM x)
”, in which the x after the Com indicates the available COM-port (i.e. COM 4).
Open the features of this connection by a double-
click, go to “Port Settings” and then click there the button
“Advanced...”.
There you can choose the preferred COM-
Port at the point “COM Port Number”. If this port is already re-
served for another (even not connected) device, an error message will appear. In principle it is possible
that 2 devices are set on the same COM-port, but then you have to take care, that not both devices are
connected at the same time, because this would lead to a conflict.
4.3 Is there an automatic update function that updates the installed driver to the lat-
est version?
The driver is not updated automatically.
If there is already a suitable (for the operating system) driver during the installation, this driver will be used
automatically.
If the usage of the adapter cause problems, please make sure that the latest version of the driver for the
adapter is used and install the latest version manually (see 6.5) if necessary.
