3.2.5 Verifying the Installation:
This section will show you on how to verify whether the I-7561 was
properly installed. You will also need to determine the COM port
assignment made by Windows for the USB to RS-232/422/485 converter.
Note: Before you connect the I-7561 for the first time, ensure that you do
not attach any serial devices to the converter. You must only connect the
I-7561 itself.
To verify whether the device is properly installed and determine the COM
port assignment for the device:
1. Click “Start” Æ “Settings” Æ “Control Panel”, then double click on the
“System” icon. Once the System Properties window is display, click on
”Hardware” tab and then click on the “Device Manager” button. Double-
click on Ports (COM & LPT). If the device was correctly installed, you
should now see the I-7561 USB-to-RS232/422/485 (COM4) device
listing. This also means that Windows has assigned the device to the
COM4 port.
