USB driver

To communicate with the T‑POD via a POD USB Adaptor, you need to install a Virtual Com Port driver (made by Future Technology Devices International Ltd).

To install the Virtual Com Port driver:

1. Click here to download the USB_Driver.zip file (1.9 MB) into the POD\USB Driver folder.

2. Open the POD\USB Driver folder.

3. Double-click on the file CDM 2.02.04.exe.

The Virtual Com Port driver is installed.

4. Plug the USB communications cable into the POD USB Adaptor.

5. Plug the other end of the USB communications cable into any USB port on your computer (see below).

6. Windows may want to search for the USB driver. If this is the case, navigate to the POD\USB Driver folder and choose the file FTDIPORT.INF.

7. Verify the USB installation on your computer by opening Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Ports (COM & LPT).

The entry should show 'USB Serial Port (COMx)', where x is a value from 2 to 7. Make a note of the number as you will need to enter it when you run TPOD.exe.

Installation is complete and your computer is now ready to communicate with the T‑POD.
