Installing Drivers
You will only need to install drivers the first time the ENVIROMUX is connected to your PC with Windows XP, 2000, Vista,
Windows 7 and Windows 8 (32 and 64 bit versions). (Drivers will automatically install when connected to a Windows 10 PC.)
After the first time, when the ENVIROMUX is connected, your PC should recognize the ENVIROMUX and re-assign the COM port.
Follow the steps below to install the drivers.
Note: When trying to load the USB driver to a Windows 8 PC, you will likely be stopped by an “unsigned driver” warning,
even though the driver you are trying to load is actually a Microsoft driver from an earlier operating system. Follow the
instruction on page 12 to disable this warning and be able to proceed with driver installation.
1. Make sure the USB cable is connected between the ENVIROMUX and your PC.
2. Power ON the ENVIROMUX. The PC will see the ENVIROMUX as “New Hardware” and create a virtual COM port to
communicate with it.
3. You will be prompted to load drivers. A driver file compatible with Windows XP, 2000, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 (32
and 64 bit versions) can be found on the CD that came with your ENVIROMUX. Browse to the drive your Product Manual CD is in
and locate and select the file named “enviromux.inf” in a directory named “windows-drivers\32bit or \64bit”
depending upon your operating system.
The .inf file will direct your PC to locate and install the file usbser.sys (already on your PC, comes with Windows). Installing
the usbser.sys file should happen automatically. When finished, Windows will indicate installation is successful.
