INSERT THE DRIVER CD INTO YOUR CD-ROM BEFORE

PLUGGING THE HARDWARE INTO THE PC.

If you have inserted the hardware first and the Found New

Hardware Wizard launched, click cancel to exit the wizard.

After inserting the CD, the Ulinx USB Driver Installation

wizard should launch automatically. If not, navigate to the CD-ROM drive and run setup.exe. To find your CD-ROM

drive, double click “Computer” or “My Computer” on your

desktop, then double click on your CD-ROM drive (usually D:).

In Windows Vista, if the following dialog appears, click “Run

setup.exe”.

When the Ulinx USB Driver Installation Wizard appears,

follow the wizard to complete the installation.

1. One USB port is required for each installed device. The USB port can be native to the PC or it can be a USB port from an installed USB hub to the PC.

Note: The devices work with USB 1.1 or 2.0 ports but have a maximum USB data rate of 12Mbps.

NOTE: To remove drivers from a PC, there is an Uninstall reference document on the CD ROM.

1. To verify the installation went correctly open the Windows

Device Manager

Scroll down to Ports, Expand the ports by clicking on the plus sign (+), this

shows if the ports now exist on the PC.

If there are no exclamation points or other indicators of

a problem the ports should be installed correctly and ready for use.

2. Verifying with a loopback test.

If the device is RS-232, loopback pins 2 and 3. If the

device is RS-422 or RS-485, loopback the TDA(-) to RDA(-) and TDB(+) to RDB(+). Use the pin-out charts for the location of each pin or terminal.

Using Hyper Terminal or similar program, connect to

the appropriate COM port. Set the desired baud rate. Ensure Hyper Terminal local echo is OFF. (Note:

Hyper Terminal is not provided with Vista or 2003 Server)

Transmit data. If the same character string is returned,

the test is good.

Note: For models with selectable RS-422/485 configurations

Dip switches allow the module to be configured for two-wire or four-wire, RS-422 or RS-485 modes. In two-wire mode the TDA (-) and RDA (-) are tied together and so are TDB (+) and RDB (+), making multi-dropping this converter into an existing network easy.
