E5805A USB/RS232 Interface E5805A USB/RS232 Interface Cabling the E5805A USB/RS232 Interface The E5805A USB/RS232 Interface is an intelligent, stackable expansion module that connects to a PC or server running Windows® 98SE, Me, 2000, or XP via the Universal Serial Bus (USB), providing high- speed serial connectivity.
Once the Driver software is installed, the E5805A can be attached to a USB port. Your PC should be able to connect to it, and the four RS232 ports on the E5805A should appear as additional Windows® COM ports. These ports can be used by your PC to connect serial instruments and general purpose devices to the four port RS- 232 converter.
6 Type in <CD drive letter>:\Win2k and click “OK”. 7 Confirm that Windows is pointing to <CD drive letter>:\ Win2k. Then click “Next”. 8 There are multiple resources on the E5805A which have to be setup, so continue to install resources until the Windows 2000 installation completes.
Driver Installation For Windows 98SE and Me E5805A USB/RS232 Interface 1 Insert the "Agilent Driver" CD into your CD- ROM drive. 2 After connecting the USB cable, the Add New Hardware Wizard appears. Click "Next". 3 Select "Search for the best driver for your device" and click "Next".
The red light also blinks during installation. Once the installation is complete, it should stop blinking. Amber: This light signifies serial port activity on the E5805A USB/RS232 Interface. The amber light may also flash briefly during installation.
The E5805A USB/RS232 Interface Utility Program For all Windows Operating Systems N O TE E5805A USB/RS232 Interface The E5805A USB/RS232 Interface configuration utility program, which is available from the Start menu, allows you to manage the serial ports of your 4 Port Interface product.

This flag is used when an application requires a read to complete immediately. In the read immediate case, the E5805A USB/RS232 Interface driver sends a request to the device asking for any buffered data to be sent. This buffered data will be included when the read completes. If this flag is set, the driver does not query the device for additional data.

~200ms (receiver is no longer active). We do not enable this behavior by default because of the nature of E5805A USB/RS232 Interface’s buffering. However, if you set the flag, the read is completed when ~200 ms of no activity is detected.

E5805A USB/RS232 Interface The Advanced tab allows you to do the following: • Uninstall the drivers. • Enable Event Logging – Place event messages in the system event log. • Configure how COM ports are assigned. The driver supports COM port number assignment in two ways: 1 Assign COM ports based on the converter serial number.

E5805A USB/RS232 Interface In this mode, the driver identifies a converter based on the physical USB port where it is connected. This effectively assigns COM port numbers to physical USB ports. No matter which converter is plugged into a given USB port, it uses the COM port numbers assigned to that USB port.
E5805A USB/RS232 Interface Understanding the E5805A and USB Hubs Hubs, critical components in the USB architecture, are wiring concentrators that enable the attachment of multiple devices, thus converting a single attachment point into multiple attachment points. USB architecture allows a cascaded multiple hub configuration with certain power limitations (explained later in this section).

Indeed, up to seven hubs can be connected parallel at any given level. You must tally both external and embedded hubs when counting downstream hubs. The E5805A is a bus-powered device and, therefore, must not be N O TE connected to a bus-powered hub.
