VID and PID Table
USB uses two numbers to identify a device and
fi
nd the correct drivers. The
fi
rst is the VID (Vendor ID),
assigned by the USB Implementers Forum. The vendor ID (VID) is 1EAB (hex). The second is the
PID (Product ID). A range of PIDs is used for each product sub family, so each PID contains a base
number and an interface type (keyboard, COM port, etc.).
