Determining the Virtual COM Port (VCP)
The MD-CC400-000 uses a Virtual COM Port to communicate through the USB port to the MForce. A VCP
is a software driven serial port which emulates a hardware port in Windows.
The drivers for the MD-CC400-000 will automatically assign a VCP to the device during installation. The
VCP port number will be needed when IMS Terminal is set up in order that IMS Terminal will know where to
find and communicate with your IMS Product.
To locate the Virtual COM Port.
1) Right-Click the “My Computer” Icon and select “Properties”.
2) Browse to the Hardware Tab (Figure D.8), Click the Button labeled “Device Manager”.
3) Look in the heading “Ports (COM & LPT)” IMS USB to RS422 Converter Cable (COMx) will
be listed (Figure D.9). The COM # will be the Virtual COM Port connected. You will enter this
number into your IMS Terminal Configuration.
