Communication Ports
There are two types of USB ports on your Luminex. The standard USB A (host) port allows you to
insert a thumb drive to copy files from the memory or from the Data SD card. The micro USB-B
(client) port provides connection access for the USB realtime cable between the writing machine and
Case CATalyst and any other CAT system that supports the Stenograph USB protocol. The micro
USB port also allows for a virtual serial connection for other CAT systems. To use the USB cable
connection, it is necessary to install the Luminex USB drivers.
Install the Luminex USB Drivers USB:
The Luminex USB driver must be installed on your computer in order to write realtime with the micro
USB cable, load dictionaries and install updates. The USB driver installation also installs the USB
driver that creates a virtual serial port. If your CAT vendor does not support a USB realtime
connection, the driver allows for serial communication between the Luminex and other CAT software.
See USB Virtual Serial Port Communication for more details.
You can use the USB Realtime and Read communications with USB compatible CAT software such
as Case CATalyst version 4.096 or higher.
