Overview
UPort 2000 Series products are easy to install and use. After installing the drivers on your PC,
connect the UPort to your computer, plug in your serial devices, and you’re ready to go.
Programming is NOT required, and you do not need to worry about IRQs, configuring a board,
power requirements, or connection schemes.
UPort 2000 Series products are compliant with USB 1.1, and 2.0 specifications , and meet the 480
Mbps high-speed requirement of Hi-Speed USB 2.0. Using your computer’s USB ports to connect

Chapter 2 Driver Installation
In this chapter, we use Windows XP to illustrate how to install the UPort 2000 USB-to-serial
converters. The procedures for Windows 2000/2003/2008 and Windows Vista are essentially the
same.
We recommend installing the UPort 2000 Series driver first, before connecting the UPort 2000
USB-to-serial converter to your computer’s USB port.
The following topics are covered in this chapter:

UPort 2000 Series User’s Manual Driver Installation
UPort’s USB Usage Limitation
1. A maximum of 4 UPort 2000 converters can be connected to one PC host. Connecting more
than 4 UPort 2000 converters will put a strain on system resources, and could cause the
computer to become unstable.
2. We recommend connecting the UPort 2000 directly to your PC’s USB port.
3. Although your UPort 2000 supports USB 1.1, we recommend using a USB 2.0 host controller
or HUB to get the best and most stable performance.
Installing the Driver
1. Run the Setup Wizard located on the UPort 2000 Series Document and Software CD-ROM.
Click Next to start installing the driver.
