Find your device hardware ID

Your NEC model can have more than one network, camera or audio configuration. Identify the fitted component before selecting a vendor-specific package.

1. Open Device Manager and locate the component, including an unknown device if that is the problem.
2. Right-click it and choose Properties. Open Details, then select Hardware Ids in the Property list.
3. Record the identifiers exactly and compare them with the supported devices in NEC’s package documentation. A vendor name alone is insufficient.

Identifiers beginning with PCI\VEN_ or USB\VID_ describe hardware; they are not your NEC model number. Keep the full model code from the device label as a separate check.

Confirm Windows as well

Press Windows + R and run winver to record the release. In Settings → System → About, record the system type. Select the matching release and architecture in the library, then the exact model-type column. If NEC’s documentation does not establish a match, leave that package unselected.
