NOTE: WIF.exe can be made to communicate over any of the WISM+ host interfaces,
There are some specific things which need to be done depending upon which host interface of the WISM+ Dev Kit
which you are going to use. USB is the default, but Ethernet, RS-232, and SPI will also work.
The required preparation for using each of these interfaces will be described in the following sections.
4.1 Setting up PC ports for WIF-WISM+ communications
4.1.1 Configuring PC USB port for WIF.exe
To use the PC USB port to communicate with the WISM+ Dev Kit, a USB driver must be installed. This driver exists
on your PC after running SETUP.EXE. By default, WIF.exe will look for an active USB connection from the PC to the
WISM+.
