TS-990S, TS-890S, TS-590SG, TS-590S, TH-D72A/E KPG-22U, KPG-46U, KPG-186U Virtual COM Port Driver Last updated : January 8, 2025 Introduction Thank you for choosing the KENWOOD transceivers. You can connect your TS-990S, TS-890S, TS-590SG, TS-590S, or TH-D72A/E to a PC via a USB cable, or you can connect your TH-K20A/E, TH-K40A/E, TM-281A/E, TM-481A, or other transceivers to a PC via the KPG-22U/46U/186U programming cables by installing the virtual COM port driver in the PC, and then utilize the Radio Control Program, Memory Control Program, or other software we have provided. This virtual COM port driver installation program is provided by Silicon Laboratories Inc. After reading through the following explanations, feel free to download and install the software. Operating Environment 1. Operating System (OS) Windows® 10Windows® 11 2. Peripheral Devices USB 2.0 interface. Installing the virtual COM port driver ATTENTION: Do not connect the device to a PC before installing the virtual COM port driver. If the device is connected to a PC before installing the virtual COM port driver, an incompatible driver may be installed and the PC may not be able to communicate properly with the target device. In this case, delete the incompatible driver, install the correct driver, and then connect the target device to the PC again. Extract the downloaded file "CP210x_Universal_Windows_Driver.zip" into a designated folder.In the designated folder, a folder labeled "CP210x_Universal_Windows_Driver" will be created. In the created folder "CP210x_Universal_Windows_Driver", right-click the "silabser.inf" and select "Install (I)", then follow the instructions that appear on the display to install the virtual COM port driver. Connecting the device to a PC Turn the transceiver power ON, then connect it to a PC via a connection cable for the transceiver. The PC will detect new hardware. The installation of the device driver software will start automatically. If a reboot request appears, please reboot the PC. Confirming the COM port number Open the "Device Manager" to confirm which COM port number is assigned for connection with the device. (Confirm the COM port number after turning on the transceiver and connecting the transceiver to the PC using a USB cable, or after connecting the KPG-22U/46U/186U to the PC.) 1. Right-click the Windows® [Start] button. 2. Click [Device Manager] in the displayed window. 3. [Device Manager] window will appear. Click “Ports (COM & LPT)” to extend it, then you can find “Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge (COMxx)”.The “COMxx” number is different

I’ve been building a new project using an ESP32 microcontroller. Plugging the ESP32 into my Windows development laptop wasn’t showing up the com port for the device. Looking into Device Manager I saw the error below associated with the CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller. After some searching I found the CP210x USB to UART Bridge Virtual COM Port (VCP) drivers are required for device operation as a virtual com port to facilitate host communication with CP210x products. The Windows Universal Driver (along with drivers for other platforms) can be downloaded from Silicon Labs website here. After extracting the archive I installed the driver by right clicking on the silabser.inf file …… and selecting Install. Following the installation of the CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller driver I was able to see the device under Ports (COM & LPT) along with the communications port number it had been assigned. Hopefully this helps someone else as well as myself the next time I’ve got a laptop without the virtual com port driver installed.

Redirect RS232 data to TCP Networks with TCP-Com SoftwareHow to redirect RS232 Serial device data to Ethernet or other TCP/IP networks using TCP-Com software from TALtech. TCP-Com is a Serial to TCP Redirector Software TCP-Com is a Six-in-One Serial to TCP Software:One: Share Serial RS232 Device Data over TCP NetworksUse TCP-Com as a PC-based Serial Device Server (also known as a Terminal Server) to make any serialdevice accessible on a TCP/IP network.Attach serial devices to your PC’s serial RS232 or USB ports and TCP-Com will make the data available at an IP address (and port number) on your RJ45 network. Add additional USB or RS232 ports to your PC to make TCP-Com act as a multi-port Serial Device Server or Terminal Server if you need many RS232 serial connections.Serial to TCP Software, TCP-Com2. Convert Ethernet to RS-232. Even create virtual COM ports to receive network data. This allows you to send or receive data over Ethernet or any TCP/IP network using any existing COM port software.Some software only recognizes data coming from RS-232 COM ports. TCP-Com can easily create virtual COM ports and redirect Ethernet, Internet, or network data to these serial COM ports. This allows you to use any existing serial communications software to communicate over and collect data directly from your IP networks.3. Feed RS232 COM port data to multiple PC apps or COM portsUse TCP-Com as a virtual splitter cable.Windows does not allow multiple applications to access the same COM port. Bypass this restriction by using TCP-Com to split a single COM port into multiple Virtual COM ports (which TCP-Com creates). This allows all your existing serial communications applications to access the same data.4. Use an IP network as a giant RS232 cable5. Open network COM ports as local COM ports6. Map one network port to another
