How to Install Iridium USB Serial Port (COM14) Driver

1. Check your system and hardware. Confirm your Windows version and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. Verify that the package supports your specific Iridium equipment. If comparing Windows 10/11 compatibility, note that Windows 11 is not included in the supported OS list provided here.

1. Choose the appropriate package. Before starting your Iridium USB Serial Port (COM14) driver download for Windows, review the package details. Look for the latest version compatible with your system, and use a trusted source when choosing a free download.

1. Prepare the installation. Close any applications using the Iridium connection. Extract the downloaded archive if necessary, and follow any included instructions about when to connect or disconnect the device.

1. Install the driver. Run the supplied installer, if available. For a manual installation, open Device Manager, locate the connected device, choose Update driver, and browse to the extracted driver folder.

1. Verify the connection. Restart Windows if prompted, then check Device Manager under Ports (COM & LPT). Select the assigned COM port in your communications software. COM14 is a Windows-assigned port number and may differ on another computer or after reconnecting the device.

Keep the driver updated when a compatible release addresses a connection issue or improves support for your setup. Before you update, check the release notes and retain a working driver package in case you need to restore your previous configuration.
