USB Driver installation
Make sure your computer is connected to the internet. The driver should install
automatically via Windows update when the TRANSIT Entry is connected to your PC
via the USB cable. Follow the driver installation wizard. If you do not see the
Windows update pop-up, you can manually install the driver. To manually install,
you need to go to FTDI’s website at
www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
and
download the VCP (Virtual Com Port) drivers for your operating system. Drivers for
MacOS and Linux are available as well.
Note
While the USB interface is
in use, the on-board RS232
and RS422 interfaces are
disabled. Also when an
optional interface board is
placed (e.g. TCP/IP) the
board will be disabled as
long as the USB interface is
in use.
