Hi,

I just purchased the 8devices USB2CAN Converter.
The installation of the driver was successful.
Now I have a program that can communicate with a CAN interface and operate the devices connected to my CAN. With a different interface this worked successfully using COM5 for that other device.
Now I'm looking for the COM-Port number to start the communication with the USB2CAN converter.

Operating system is Win-XP SP3.
In the device manager I see the USB ressource called "USB2CAN converter", but under the section for the COM and LPT interfaces there is nothing.
How to get the USB2CAN converter to build a COM-port?

btw.
The test application worked successfully. So the HW seems to be OK.

Hi,
usb2can converter doesn't use USB CDC class so it doesn't have any virtual comports.
It use CANAL type interface based on own USB class type.

Hm,

that sounds not good.
How to get it to work with the Microsoft Comm Controll (mscomm32)?
The program to use it is in Visual Basic 5.0. MS-Comm Control is the only possibility.
