ZIC2410 Getting Started Guide 3 INSTALLING THE USB TO COM PORT DRIVER In order to interface a PC to the evaluation boards or the ZIC2410USB-WNA, a driver file must be installed onto the PC, allowing it to utilize the USB port. The USB to RS-232 driver installation file can be found on the CD in the \ZIC2410\Tools\Others\CP210X_DRIVER\ directory. 3.1 Installing the Drivers The following is the procedure to decompress the drivers: 1. Double-click on the “CP210x_VCPInstaller.
ZIC2410 Getting Started Guide 4 EVALUATION BOARD USB INTERFACE The ZIC2410 has two UART interfaces, UART0 and UART1. UART0 is typically used for general communication purposes, while UART1 is used to interface to the various software tools (i.e. Device Programmer, etc.). UART1 can also be used for general communication when not interface to the various software tools. On the evaluation boards either one or both UARTs are present, when only one UART interface is present it will always be UART1.
ZIC2410 Getting Started Guide the driver software. If the CP210x drivers have been installed in the default destination directory, choose ‘Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)’ and click ‘Next’. 3) In the Please choose your search and installation options dialog, un-check the ‘Search removable media (floppy, CD-ROM…)’ and check the ‘Include this location in the search:’ check boxes, as shown in Figure 4.
ZIC2410 Getting Started Guide 6) The screens in Figure 6 and Figure 7 will appear while the driver file is being initialized. When that process is complete, Figure 8 will appear. Click ‘Finish’. Figure 6 - Screen, New Hardware Wizard (Setting a System Restore Point) Figure 7 - Screen, New Hardware Wizard (Installation Status) Rev E Document No.
ZIC2410 Getting Started Guide Figure 8 - Screen, New Hardware Wizard 7) If Windows prompts to reboot the system due to a system settings change, click ‘Yes’ to complete the installation. 8) The hardware drivers for the USB connected ZIC2410 device have now been successfully enumerated. 4.1.2 Identifying the COM Port for a Component When a new piece of hardware is connected to the PC via the USB port, the PC assigns that connection a COM port number.
ZIC2410 Getting Started Guide 3) In the ‘System Properties’ screen, under the ‘Hardware’ tab, click on ‘Device Manager’. Double-click on ‘Ports (COM & LPT)'. The screen in Figure 10 will be displayed Figure 10 – Screen, Device Manager (1 device connected) 4) On the list of Ports, one of them should read ‘Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge (COM#)’. In the example in Figure 10 above, the component is connected to ‘COM5’.
ZIC2410 Getting Started Guide 4.1.3 Checking the COM port with Multiple Devices Connected If connecting several components to a single PC through USB connections it will be necessary to enumerate the new component as performed in Section 4.1.1. As with a single component connected, it is necessary to identify the individual COM ports used for each component.
ZIC2410 Getting Started Guide 5 HARDWARE COMPONENTS The major hardware components of the ZICM2410P0-KIT2 Development Kit are the three ZICM2410-EVB3 evaluation boards and ZIC2410USB-WNA Wireless Network Analyzer. A brief description of the evaluation board and WNA follows, for further details on the evaluation board please refer to the evaluation board’s hardware reference guide. 5.

ZIC2410 Getting Started Guide A DEALING WITH COM PORT CONFLICTS i. Changing the Device ID Number The ZIC2410 components which connect to a PC through a USB cable (i.e. evaluation boards) contain a Cygnal CP2101 Single Chip USB to UART Interface Bridge. All of the Cygnal devices are manufactured with the same serial number (0001). If you have purchased an evaluation kit, all components contained in the kit should have had their serial numbers changed to a unique value.
ZIC2410 Getting Started Guide 3) While in this window, type the new serial number (e.g.0004), in the lower ‘Serial Number’ box and check the ‘radio box’ to its left. 4) Press the ‘Program Device’ button. The upper ‘Serial Number’ box will become blank as shown in Figure 16. Figure 16 – Screen, CP210x Set IDs (Executing ID # Change) If the serial number selected has not been used before on this PC, the user will be prompted that two new hardware devices have been found.
ZIC2410 Getting Started Guide ii. Choosing / Changing the COM Port Number for a Device 1) To choose or change the COM port, open the Windows Device Manager window and doubleclick on the device to be changed in the ‘Ports’ list to bring up its ‘Properties’. See Figure 19. Figure 19 – Screen, Device Manager (Changing Port Settings) 2) Under the ‘Port Settings’ tab, click on ‘Advanced’, choose the desired COM port number from the pull down menu, and click ‘OK’.
ZIC2410 Getting Started Guide B REINSTALLING THE WNA FIRMWARE In the event that the firmware in the WNA is damaged, it can be reinstalled using the DeviceProgrammer software. For details on the screens of the Device-Programmer, please refer to “ZIC2410 User Guide Device-Programmer Software Manual”. For more details on the mechanics and switch locations of the ZIC2410USB-WNA please refer to the “ZIC2410USBWNA User Guide”. 1. Disconnect (if connected) the target board from the dongle’s ISP interface. 2.
