UPort 1200/1400/1600 Series User’s Manual Introduction Overview UPort 1200/1400/1600 Series products are easy to use. Simply install the drivers, connect the UPort to your computer, plug in your serial devices, and you’re ready to go. Programming is NOT required, and you do not need to worry about IRQs, configuring a board, power requirements, or connection schemes.
Driver Installation Chapter 2 This chapter includes information about installing the UPort 1200/1400/1600 USB-to-Serial Hub. We present the installation procedure for Windows 2000. The procedures for Windows XP/2003 (32 bit) and Windows XP/2003 (64 bit) are essentially the same as that for Windows 2000. We recommend installing the UPort 1200/1400/1600 driver first, before connecting the UPort 1400/1600 USB-to-Serial Hub to your computer’s USB port.
UPort 1200/1400/1600 Series User’s Manual Driver Installation USB Usage Limitations for UPort 1. A maximum of 4 UPorts can be connected to each host. Connecting more than 4 UPorts will cause system resources to become low and unstable. 2. We recommend connecting the UPort directly to the host USB port. If you need to use an external USB hub, only the first level is recommended.
