ATTENTION Before plugging the adaptor into your computer’s USB port, we recommend installing the driver first. Please refer to Section 3 for driver installation procedures.

After the driver is installed, the adaptor can be plugged into any upstream type A USB port, either on a PC host or on an upstream hub. The adaptor is hot-pluggable, so there is no need to power down your computer prior to installation. The Found New Hardware wizard will automatically locate the appropriate drivers, and various windows will appear as the adaptor is being installed.

After the Found New Hardware wizard finishes installing the adaptor, the Windows Device Manager may be used to modify the settings for the new COM port. The new COM port will be listed under Ports (COM & LPT) and the new adapters will be listed under Multi-port serial adapters. For more information about port configuration, please refer to the UPort 1100 Series user manual.
