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’r e ready to go. Programming is NOT required, and you do not need to worry about IRQs, conf iguring a board, power requirements, or connection schemes.

UPort Series products are compliant with USB 1.1, and 2.0 specifications, and meet the 480 Mbps high-speed requirement. Using your computer’s USB ports to connect serial devices reduces the total cost of ownership, investment in hardware, and long term management and integration costs.

The UPort Series supports both bus power and external power via an adapter. Bus power is adapted for laptop or workstation connections that support 500 mA output for USB devices. External power is adapted for those USB hubs that can only produce 100 mA of current.

Chapter 2 Driver Installation

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.

The following topics are covered in this chapter:

 USB Usage Limitations for UPort  Installing the Driver  Connecting the Hardware

¾ Adjustable Pull High/low Registors for the RS-485 Port  Installing the Setup Program  Installing the Driver for the Server  Installing the Driver for the Ports  Configuring the Ports  Uninstalling UPort  Uninstalling the Driver

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.

3. In general, there are 2 types of USB hub:

i. High power hubs require an external power adaptor, and provide 500 mA of power to

the USB port.

ii. Low power hubs get power from the host PC, and provide 100 mA of power to the USB

port.

The following table shows what type of USB hub should be used with UPort 1200/1400/1600

products.

UPort 1250

High power

HUB

(500 mA)

Low power

(100 mA)

4. Although UPort can operate using USB 1.1, to get the best and most stable performance, we

recommend using a USB 2.0 host controller o r HUB .
