-In order for NetHome to be able to communicate with the Tellstick transceiver, you must install drivers that make the Tellstick appear as an COM-port. These drivers are available from [[http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm | FTDI]], but since the Tellstick device has its own product id, we must modify the installation files a bit so it also accepts this id as a serial port. Unfortunately this small change breaks the signing of the drivers which makes the installation a bit more messy. The instructions below are for Windows 7, but should work for all versions of Windows.+In order for NetHome to be able to communicate with the Tellstick transceiver, you must install drivers that make the Tellstick appear as COM-port.

 7. Unplug the Tellstick and plug it in again. Windows will now discover the serial port and install the driver. In the Ports-section there should now be a serial port called Tellstick Serial Port. Take note which com port number it was assigned (COM8 for example) as this is the name you will use in NetHomeServer. 7. Unplug the Tellstick and plug it in again.
