Dev Kit USB Interfaces
USB/RS232
The USB interface (connector labeled USB/RS232) closest to the power plug is to the
RS232 interface of the ThingMagic Nano through an FTDI USB to serial converter. The
drivers for it are available at
http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
Please follow the instructions in the installation guide appropriate for your operating
system.
The ThingMagic Nano does not support a native USB port, so this port on the Dev Kit is
inoperable.
A COM port should now be assigned to the ThingMagic Nano. If you aren’t sure what
COM port is assigned you can find it using the Windows Device Manager:
a. Open the Device Manager (located in Control Panel | System).
b. Select the Hardware tab and click Device Manager.
c. Select View | Devices by Type | Ports (COM & LPT) The device appears as USB
Serial Port (COM#).
