6. Hardware Set-Up
This section provides information on connecting the I
2
C adapter to your host
computer and I
2
C Bus target system.
1. USB Connection
After completing the Driver Installation instructions above, plug the
iPort/USB 2 adapter into a free USB port on your host computer or self-
powered USB hub. If this is the first time the iPort/USB 2 is connected to the
host computer, the operating system will automatically install the VCP driver
and assign the iPort/USB 2 a communications port address (COMn, /dev).
You can find the ComPort number assigned to the iPort/USB 2 by running the
iPort Utility Pack Message Center or Message Manager software, and
selecting the iPort/USB 2 device, use Windows Device Manager (Start |
Settings | Control Panel | System | Device Manager | Ports (COM & LPT)), or
use the OS X or Linux ls /dev command to find the communications port
address assigned to the iPort/USB 2.
2. I
2
C Bus Connection

2
C Bus cable to the I
2
C adapter and your I
2
C device. You can
make this connection with the I

C Mini Clip-Lead cable or I
2
C Mini Interface
Cable.
The I
2
C Bus interconnect includes 5 wires, Clock (SCL), Data (SDA), Ground
(GND), /INTerrupt (/INT), and +V. The minimum connection for I

C Bus
communication is Clock, Data, and Ground. You may not need to, or want to,
connect the additional wires to your target system. Refer to the “Hardware
