Application software can access the USB device in the same way as it would access a standard COM port. So, yes.this might be just a little thing for Fortinet, but it isn't for us in terms of security (yes, sure - we could relabel it, but it wouldn't be an official download from fortinet, would it now?).Virtual COM port (VCP) drivers cause the USB device to appear as an additional COM port available to the PC. The usb cable seems to want a driver for 'FT232R USB UART' and we got that from (couldn't find anything remotly more 'legit').

We are sending these cables out to our customer with our fortigates (sometimes needed for troubleshooting, etc.) and the customer usually asks for an official driver (rightfully so) - because Windows doesn't seem to have a build-in driver and installing a 'foreign' driver one (depending on the corporate policies of the OS and the corporate guidelines) might just not be feasible (or quite a hassle).Ĭonsidering Fortigate is a security company, I would expect them to give us something (even if it is just a relabel) official, so that we can point to that for our customers in order to install a driver to make it work! I am also rather desperate trying to get an 'official' driver for that cable that is showing! Those are branded by Fortinet! I don't want to necro the thread, but I have some pain with all that to be honest.
