ALGIZ 8X CAN bus expansion (A8XEXP-CAN)

Summary

To verify if the A8XEXP-CAN module is recognized in the system, open device manager and expand Universal Serial Bus controllers. If you see USB Serial Converter A and USB Serial Converter B, the CAN module is recognized and the driver is loaded successfully. If you don’t see the two entries, install the driver.
