-To determine which two location IDs correspond to a physical USB port on your laptop, simply insert one of our ECMLink cables into the port in question.  Once you have inserted this cable, hit F5 again to refresh USBView.

+Note that **Loc41** now says ''DeviceConnected : USB Serial Converter'' where as before it simply said ''NoDeviceConnected''.  That means that the USB port into which our cable was inserted is at location ID ''0x00000041''.  When this cable is removed from that port and installed into another port, ''Loc42'' (in this example) shows ''DeviceConnected'', indicating the following.
+''PORT A – Location ID 0x00000041''
+''PORT B – Location ID 0x00000042''
+Identify these two ports on your local machine and write them down.  The following examples will use these two ports.  Be sure to use your OWN IDs instead of the ones used in this example as your PC will be different
