Introduction and Installation
Introduction
Overview
The Sealevel Systems SeaLINK+422 equips the PC with 1 USB to RS-422 Asynchronous serial port providing a
versatile interface for common RS-422 needs. The SeaLINK+422 connects through the PC’s external USB port, so
it does not require opening the computer case. Resources such as IRQs and I/O addresses are also not utilized. It
does require a system that supports USB in hardware and operating system.
What’s Included
The SeaLINK+422 is shipped with the following items. If any of these items is missing or damaged, contact the
supplier.
• SeaLINK+422 USB to RS-422 cable
• Sealevel Software CD
Installation
Windows 98/ME/2000/XP Installation
Do not connect the Adapter to the machine until the software has been fully installed.
1. Start Windows.
2. Insert the Sealevel Systems CD in to your CD drive.
3. If ‘Auto-Start’ is enabled for this drive the software will automatically launch. Otherwise, point your
browser to the ‘Index.htm’ on the root directory of the CD
4. Select ‘Install Software’.
5. Select the Part Number for your adapter from the listing.
6. Select ‘Windows 98/ME/2000/XP’. The setup file will automatically detect the operating environment and
install the proper components. Next (depending on the OS version) select the ‘Run this program from its
current location’ or ‘Open’ option. Follow the information presented on the screens that follow.
7. A screen may appear with the declaration: “The publisher cannot be determined due to the problems
below: Authenticode signature not found.” Please select the ‘Yes’ button and proceed with the installation.
This declaration simply means that the Operating System is not aware of the driver being loaded. It will not
cause any harm to your system.
8. During setup the user may specify installation directories and other preferred configurations. This program
also adds entries to the system registry that are necessary for specifying the operating parameters for each
driver. An uninstall option is also included to remove all registry/INI file entries from the system.
Windows NT Note: Windows NT is not USB aware and thus cannot support the adapter.
Physical Installation
The SeaLINK+422 can be connected to any Upstream Type “A” port either at the PC host or an Upstream Hub, and
since it is hot pluggable, there is no need to power down your computer prior to installation. The SeaLINK+422
requires no user hardware configuration. Once you have installed the software simply plug the USB cable into an
available USB port. The drivers that were installed durin g setup will auto matically be used to conf igure the ad apter.
You should see one or more “New Hardware Found” windows, indicating the actual device being created.
