1 EPT 232R-US-R1 1 Meter USB to Serial Cable
The EPT 232R-US-R1, provides a simple method of adapting legacy serial devices with RS232
interfaces to modern USB ports.
Each EPT 232R-US-R1 adapter contains a small internal electronic circuit board which utilises
the FTDI FT232R, mounted inside a rugged plastic enclosure capable of withstanding industrial
temperature ranges. The integrated electronics also include RS232 level shifters and TXD/RXD
LEDs to provide a visual indication of data traffic through the adapter.
The Cable incorporates a standard USB-A device connector for connection to an upstream host
or hub port. RS232-level signals, including modem handshake signals, are available on an
industry-standard DB9 Male connector. The maximum RS232-level data rate is 1MBaud.

User Manual EPT USB To Serial 1 Meter Cable The EPT 232R-US-R1 adapter cable requires USB device drivers, available from www.earthpeopletechnology.com/resources/driver, which are used to make the EPT 232R-US- R1 appear as a Virtual COM Port (VCP). This allows existing serial communications software, such as HyperSerialPort, to exchange data through the US232R to a legacy RS232 peripheral device. -

User Manual EPT USB To Serial 1 Meter Cable 7 Troubleshooting 7.1 Hardware Cables are the most common sources of trouble with external devices. Check the following: USB cable is properly inserted Computer power is ON Computer is not in Sleep or Standby If a USB Hub is used, be sure it is set for “Self-Powered”... - Page 9 User Manual EPT USB To Serial 1 Meter Cable ERRATIC MOUSE POINTER: The device driver defaults to query an attached device to find out whether it is a mouse or modem, consistent with native COM port operation. Some RS232 peripherals constantly send short packets of data, causing the host system to “think” a mouse or modem has been attached.
