3.2 Installation of the coMsat.exe application
The coMsat.exe Windows® application is used to configure the coM.sat ISDN Basic.
It is copied into a suitable directory on a PC together with two text files:
Figure 5: coMsat.exe Installation
The coMsat.exe application can now be executed from this directory or via a
symbolic link that can be created manually e.g. on the desktop. A free USB port on
the PC is required for operation with the coM.sat ISDN Basic.
coMsat.exe needs a virtual COM port to access the ISDN Basic. To install it, the
current user must have administrator rights and the contents of the FTDI folder must
be stored in a suitable directory. If the ISDN Basic is attached to the PC for the first
time, the Windows® hardware assistant automatically reports a new device. It asks
for the installation files contained in the FTDI folder. After installation is completed, a
new virtual COM port has been added, e.g. COM3. This port must be used in
coMsat.exe.
The virtual device driver is supplied by Future Technology Devices International Ltd.,
the manufacturer of the USB/RS 232 converter used in the ISDN Basic. If another
driver is required, it can be obtained from www.ftdichip.com. The driver for FT232BM
must be used. The following four files in the FDTI distribution must be replaced by
those shipped with the ISDN Basic:
• FTDIBUS.INF
• FTDIPORT.INF
• FTDIUN2K.INI
• FTDIUNIN.INI
