Standard vs Lock Serial Number
Standard
Models BB-USOPTL4 or BB-USPTL4
Converters have unique serial numbers and assign a
unique COM port. Drivers must be installed for each
converter. A unique COM port is assigned each time.
Typical application: fixed locations.
Locked Serial Number
Models BB-USOPTL4-LS or BB-USPTL4-LS
All converters with the same model number share a
common serial number and same COM port. The driver
only needs to be installed once; subsequent converters
install using the same COM port.
Typical application: field service.
