Software & USB driver for IF-XX interface cards
USB driver IF-U1 / IF-U2 / IF-E1B / IF-E2 / IF-PB1
For Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Linux and MacOS X
The driver is a combined driver. It means, it can work as a true USB driver and it creates a COM port for every USB port of an interface card that is installed, which then can be accessed as a RS232 interface. This virtual COM port (VCP) is activated by default after the installation! It can to be deactivated in the driver setup dialogue (Windows device manager), if only the USB functionality is required.
Older driver versions, for example for Windows XP, can be found on the manufacturer's website www.ftdichip.com

IP-Config for use with devices with Ethernet interface card IF-E1B
This tool is used to adjust network parameters (IP, subnet mask, gateway) of a device where these parameters can't be set on the device itself. This pre-configuration is done via the additional USB port of the Ethernet card. After the setup, the device can be integrated into a network and is instantly accessible.
The tool is based on Labview and requires a runtime engine. In case the required runtime engine is already installed on your PC, by a different software from us, then please download the much smaller version without runtime, delete everything in the installation folder and unpack the ZIP file to there.
