Figure 3.22 Device Manager View
This time the Device Manager does not have an entry under Other Devices but does show entries
under Universal Serial Bus Controllers and Ports (COM & LPT). Figure 3.22 displays a correct
installation. The device is now ready to use on COM3.
NOTE: Not all devices will install to COM3. The COM port allocation is determined by the
installation wizard on the basis of the next free com port as designated in the PC registry. The
COM port can be reassigned to another free port in advance properties as shown in Figure 3.23.
FTDI have also produced a utility called COM PORT Assignment.
