Before connecting the UPort USB-to-serial hubs to your computer's USB
port, we recommend installing the UPort driver first. To do this, follow
the installation procedure described in Section 3.
The installation procedure described in Section 3 was done on a PC
running Windows 2000 (x86). Windows XP and 2003 (32-bit and 64-bit)
driver installations are the same. UPort can be connected to any upstream
type A USB port that is on the PC host or on an upstream hub. UPort is
hot pluggable, and therefore there is no need to power down your
computer prior to installation.
After installing the driver, connect the UPort to an upstream host or hub.
The Found New Hardware wizard will locate the appropriate drivers
automatically. Once the drivers are found, various windows will pop up
as UPort's serial port is being installed.

When the Found New Hardware wizard finishes installing UPort, use
the operating system's Device Manager to check and/or modify the port
settings. The new COM port will be listed under Ports (COM & LPT).
