FTDI Dongle Activation
Starting with version 6.0, mAirList supports activation via FTDI USB devices. That means that you can use many FTDI-based USB dongles (including serial port adapters) as a security dongle for mAirList.
Supported FTDI Devices
We support any USB dongles with the FTDI FT232R or FT485R chipset. The device must have at least 16 bytes of data available in the “User Area EEPROM”, which should be the case for most dongles.
Devices which have been tested successfully include:
- FTDI USB-Key, available from e.g. RS Components, part number 555-147.
Other FTDI devices should work as well. Note that the device must have either the FT232R(L/Q) or FT485R(L/Q) chipset. Other chipsets, or devices from other manufacturers like Prolific, will NOT work!
mairlist GmbH does not sell any FTDI dongles. Please order one from a distributor of your choice.
The D2xx drivers must be installed in order to access the FTDI dongle. Recent Windows versions will install them automatically when you plug in the dongle for the first time; you can also download them from the FTDI website and install them manually.
