Now determine if the port was added correctly and verify the COM Port number
assigned by the system:
1) Go to the Device Manager:
Windows XP/Vista/Win7 -> Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device
Manager
Windows 2000/2003 -> Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> Hardware ->
Device Manager
2) Click plus (+) next to “Ports”
3) If the device is installed properly, you will see “USB to UART (COMx). Note that x
is the number of the COM Port. Any program that needs to communicate with the
ARS-USB Board (logger, satellite tracking, etc) needs to use the new this COMx port.
Note: You can disconnect and connect the ARS-USB to see which port is assigned
by Windows.
