3. INSTALLING THE FTDI DRIVER
To use the USB DMX interface install the FTDI driver. Modern versions of Windows and OS X should do this automatically. Note
the FTDI driver isn’t required for pure Art-Net or sACN operations. ultraDMX2 PRO maximizes compatibility with existing
software using an FTDI ( www.ftdichip.com ) FT245RL device which provides USB 2.0 Full Speed interfacing. Drivers are available
directly from FTDI and in most cases the VCP (Virtual COM Port) driver should be used although both D2XX and VCP are installed
by default on Windows OS. The latest drivers are available from www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
Please refer to the installation guides at www.ftdichip.com/Documents/InstallGuides.htm and note the process involved installs
2 devices, a USB serial device followed by USB virtual COM port. All required files are included in the driver installation file.
On occasion, you may wish to change the COM port number an ultraDMX2 PRO unit has been assigned by Windows. This can be
done through the Device Manager applet by right clicking on the USB Serial Port of interest (unplug/re-plug the unit and observe
if unsure which COM port) then select properties, Port Settings tab, Advanced button and finally choose the desired COM Port
Number.
