CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION

3.1 INSTALLING THE HARDWARE
Plug the Type A end of the included 1m (3.3 ft.) USB cable into the USB port located in the back of your PC or into an
available USB port on a standard USB hub or USB switch. Plug the Type B end of the USB cable into the back of the USB to
RS-232 Converter. Figure 3-1 shows the two male connectors and their respective female receptacles.
Plug your RS-232 device, or the cables running to them (not included), into the USB to RS-232 Converter's DB9 male serial
connector. Any device or cable that can be attached directly to a DB9 serial port on a PC can be attached to the DB9
connector on the USB to RS-232 Converter.
If the USB to RS-232 Converter's software drivers are not already installed, proceed to the next section.
