RedBox English
4.3. PC interfaces
Depending on the version, your RedBox has:
 "Basic", "Booster" and "V24": two galvanically isolated PC interfaces, for parallel connection of
two computers.
 "Basic-R" and "Booster-R" with integrated WLAN interface: one USB interface
By means of a PC you can
 make software updates for the RedBox
 set parameters for the RedBox (e.g. with software CV-Navi)
 control the layout (with a suitable PC software)
Versions with two USB- interfaces: RedBox "Basic" and "RedBox "Booster"
 USB-1: type Mini-B with Tams identifier
 USB-2: type B with SiLabs identifier
There are no specifications according to the assignment of computer(s) to the two interfaces.
Preferably you should connect a computer not operated by Windows or a Raspberry Pi to the
interface USB-1.
When using interface USB-1 for a computer operated by Windows, you have to install a driver
software from the CD on your computer before the first use. In case it is not possible to install a
driver software with Tams identifier for this computer, you should use interface USB-2. Normally,
the driver software for this interface will be installed autamatically when used for the first time
(from Windows 7).
Versions with one USB-interface: RedBox "Basic-R" and "RedBox "Booster-R"
The versions "Basic-R" and "Booster-R" have one USB interface (USB-2) of type B with SiLabs
identifier. Normally, the driver software for this interface will be installed autamatically, when
used for the first time (from Windows 7).
Serial interface: RedBox "V24"
The version "V24" of the RedBox has a serial interface and an USB interface with Tams
identifier. The serial interface is for use with control software controlling the interfaces COM1
and COM2 only, and or for use with PCs not providing an USB interface.
