Check the following: - USB cable is properly inserted at both ends - Computer power is ON - Computer is not in Sleep or Standby - If a USB Hub is used, be sure it is set for “Self-Powered” operation - If a USB Hub is used, be sure all cables are properly inserted - If all the above are OK, the Yellow LED should be lit, indicating the device has been recognized by the USB subsystem. RS485 cables – check the following: - Check for specific handshake requirements of your RS485 peripheral. - Because there is no handshake signals, ensure the application is set to “No Hardware Handshake”, or equivalent. 8.2 Device Driver Ensure the latest device driver is in use. See http://www.easysync.co.uk or http://www.easysyncltd.com. If other devices with FTDI chips are installed in the system, check with all manufacturers of these devices for the latest device drivers. See the FTDI installation guides for additional details: http://ftdichip.com/Documents/InstallGuides.htm Common Windows Device Driver Troubles: • DEVICE TIMES OUT: The default settings of the device driver assume typical data transfers of hundred to thousands or more bytes at a given time. Some applications, such as a GPS device, only send data in short packets, often only a few bytes. If this is the case, it may be necessary to adjust the drivers buffer size and/or latency timer to smaller values. These values can be adjusted through the Advanced driver options as noted in Figure 2.13. The buffer size can be reduced to 64 bytes. The latency timer can be set as low as 2ms. A setting of 1ms will cause unnecessary USB traffic and could adversely affect data transmission. • ERRATIC MOUSE POINTER: The device driver defaults to query an attached device to find out whether it is a mouse or modem, consistent with native COM port operation. Some RS485 peripherals constantly send short packets of data, causing the host system to “think” a mouse or modem has been attached. These short packets will interfere with normal mouse operation causing the pointer to jump around the screen. If this happens, disconnect the RS485 device and uncheck the Serial Enumerator option, also found on the Advanced driver options screen in Figure 2.13. • COM PORT IN USE: Windows keeps track of all COM port assignments.
