1.1 Driver Support
The FT4232H requires USB drivers (listed below), available free from http://www.ftdichip.com, which
are used to make the FT4232H appear as a virtual COM port (VCP). This allows the user to communicate
with the USB interface via a standard PC serial emulation port (for example TTY). Another FTDI USB driver,
the D2XX driver, can also be used with application software to directly access the FT4232H through a DLL.
