Checking Installation in Windows ME
You can now verify the installation by looking at the listings in the Device Manger.
(Go there by Start-Settings-Control Panel-System-Hardware-Device Manager).
The listings of “Infrared Communication Device” under “Infrared devices” are added
to indicate the drivers for the Vscom IrDA serial adapter has been properly installed.
In the Control Panel, a “Wireless Link” icon is added.
The plug-and-play icon in the device tray at the lower right hand corner of the
desktop indicates the VScom IrDA serial adapter is currently plugged in. Double
click on the icon reveals that the VScom IrDA serial adapter is working properly.
