Introduction
Universal Serial Bus (USB) port technology has emerged in response to the proliferation of external
peripheral devices (scanner, digital camera, portable hard-disk drive, cell phone, PDA, MP3 player,
etc.) that are increasingly being connected to the latest generation of PCs. The USB behaves in a
similar fashion to conventional bus ports like Serial (COM), Parallel and PS/2. As it doesn’t require
any IRQs, more devices can be attached to the system without conflicts.
This USB to Serial converter provides an external plug-and-play connection for RS-232 enabled
devices with PC or any computerizing devices that support the USB specification. The converter
comes with the standard connectors of Serial DB-25 or DB-9 and USB Type A or B to fulfill your
working requirements. With the link of USB to Serial cable, communication starts interacting
without any barriers.
For further convenience, this product is designed to work by using the power drawn from the
Universal Serial Bus and no external power is required. As it is an USB compliant device, features
of plug and play, hot-swapping, energy-saving suspend, and resume are provided.
Since the most computers have limited USB and COM ports, USB hubs can be employed to gain
more USB ports for numerous USB peripheral devices to be connected up with your PC at the time.

Windows 98 Installation Guide
If a device of the same type has been installed on your machine before and the drivers
that are about to be installed are different from those installed already, the original
drivers need to be uninstalled. Please refer to the uninstalling instruction.
Download the latest available drivers from the FTDI website and unzip them to a
location on your PC.
Connect the device to a spare USB port on your PC. This will launch the
Windows Add New Hardware Wizard. Windows may display a message reading
"Building driver database" at this point which may take a few minutes to pass.
Click "Next" to proceed with the installation.
Select "Search for the best driver for your device. (Recommended)." as shown below
and then click "Next".

Click "Browse" and locate the driver files. Once the files have been located, click
"Next" to proceed with the installation.
Windows may display a message reading "Building driver database" at this point
which may take a few minutes to pass. Once Windows has found the required

files, click "Next" to install the device.
If the driver being installed does not have Microsoft WHQL signature files (.CAT files),
the wizard will request a driver disk to attempt to find them. Click "OK" on the "Insert
Disk" message box.
The following window will appear to assist in locating the file. To proceed with the
installation without the .CAT file, click "Skip File".

If the driver being installed is Microsoft WHQL certified, then the .CAT files will be
located with the other driver files and should be installed automatically.
Windows should then display a message indicating that the installation of the
serial converter driver was successful. The COM port emulation driver must now
be installed. Click "Finish" to complete the installation of the serial converter and
proceed to the COM port emulation driver.
Under Windows 98, the COM port emulation driver will be automatically installed from

10-60
the same location as the serial converter driver. However, if the driver is not WHQL
certified as explained above for the serial converter driver, the wizard will ask for the
location of .CAT files. Click "OK" on the "Insert Disk" message box.
The following window will appear to assist in locating the file. To proceed with the
installation without the .CAT file, click "Skip File".
If the driver being installed is Microsoft WHQL certified, then the .CAT files will be
located with the other driver files and should be installed automatically.
