to Serial Adapter (Adapter) TESTIMONIAL
USB DB-9 Serial Adapter for Windows Vista.
DB-9 USB Serial Adapter for PC Win 98/2000/ME/XP/Vista and MAC
Universal Serial Bus (USB) port technology has emerged in response to the proliferation of external peripheral devices (scanners, digital cameras, removable drives, etc.), that are increasingly being connected to the latest generation of PCs. USB behaves in a similar fashion to conventional bus ports (i.e., serial, parallel, PS/2), but since it does not require any IRQs, more devices can be attached to the system, and the problem of IRQ conflict is eliminated.
The UC-232A USB Serial Adapter provides an external plug-and-play RS-232 serial connection with your computer, letting you free up your existing serial port. Users have the capability to utilize the adapter with serial port interface in an easy-to-use environment, The adapter is designed for connections to Cellular phone, PDA, digital cameras, modems, or ISDN terminal adapters through your USB port with over 920 kbps data transfer rate.
Installation is easy. Simply plug a serial device into the USBG-232 adapter and plug the USB port into the computer. No IRQs are needed so there are no IRQ or Com port conflicts

BEST ADAPTER FOR USB TO SERIAL CONVERSION
This
adapter in both of it's lengths is extremely
easy to set up and install. Simple plug and play
recognition and hot plug compatibility make this usb
adapter a great data transfer tool for legacy devices.
So compact that it basically hides itself in the pocket
of your
laptop carrier or briefcase. Versatility between serial
devices being used such as modems, digital camera,
printers and more. Personally I used this to upload
some sample images to my laptop because it doesn't
have a serial port which is what I need if I'm going
to use
my camera,
especially while traveling. I'm no longer reaching
around my desktop to find the serial port, buy leaving
this plugged into the the USB port of the computer
I save myself both time and hassle with cable connections.
It's my opinion that either the 7 foot or the 12 inch model depending
on your use for it would be
a
great
item
to
have
on
hand
if for nothing else to give your existing equipment more versatility
and
easier
connections.

Hardware Installation & RS-422/485 Mode ConfiguAdapterion
of USB to RS-422/485 Adapter
Jumper Settings for RS-422 or RS-485
Inside the unit, there is a 10 x 2 (20 pin) header block which is jumpered to select the mode of opeAdapterion. You will need to open up the plastics or metal covers and set the jumper setting to RS-422 mode or RS-485 mode as per the requirements of your application. After the setting of jumpers and connecting power supply to the adapter, you then plug the adapter to USB port to start driver installation. The RS-422 & RS-485 Mode Block ConfiguAdapterion Settings are listed as follows.
RS-422 Mode Block ConfiguAdapterion:
Jumper
Function
1-2
TxD / RxD Termination of 120 Ohm. This jumper should be always populated for RS-422 mode.
3-4
CTS / RTS Termination of 120 Ohm. This jumper should be always populated for RS-422 mode.
9-10
TxD Driver Always ON. As RS-422 is full duplex point to point, the
transmitter should always be enabled.
13-14
RxD Driver Always ON. As RS-422 is full duplex point to point, the
receiver should always be enabled.
17-18
Enable CTS Handshaking. This setting allows the data flow to be controlled using CTS/RTS handshaking
if required by the application.
Note : all other positions = no jumper populated.
Hardware Installation & RS-422/485 Mode ConfiguAdapterion of USB to RS-422/485 Adapter
RS-485 Mode Block ConfiguAdapterion
Jumper
Function
1-2
TxD / RxD Termination of 120 Ohm. This jumper should only be populated at each end of the
cable to meet RS-485 termination requirements.
5-6
7-8
TxD / RxD Single pair (half duplex for RS-485). Populate both these jumpers.
11-12
Enable TxD Driver only when transmitting. This is required by the RS-485 as multiple devices can
transmit over the same twisted pair. When a RS-485 is not transmitting, it’s transmitter must be
turned off to allow other devices to communicate over the same wire.
13-14
(Echo)
RxD Always Enabled. In this RS-485 mode characters transmitted by the RS-485 device will also be
received by the same device. These echoed characters are usually stripped out by the application
software.RxD Driver Always ON. As RS-422 is full duplex point to point, the receiver should always be
enabled.
Or
15-16
(No Echo)
Transmit Data Echo Suppression Mode. In this mode characters transmitted by the RS-485 device will NOT be received by the same device. In this mode there is no need for the application software to strip out the transmitted data from the received data as it is handled by the hardware.
19-20
CTS Always Enabled. As there is no hardware handshaking in RS-485, CTS should be permanently
enabled to allow unrestricted flow of data. If handshaking is required for RS-485 it can be done
using X-On / X-Off handshaking protocol.
Note : all other positions = no jumper populated.
Sometimes, when opeAdaptering in RS-422 or RS-485, it is necessary to configure
120 Ohm termination of the data transmission lines. Generally this must be done
in the cabling, since this depends on the installation of connections. Before applying the option,
check your cable specification for proper impedance matching.
Optical Isolation & Surge Protection
Optical isolation and surge protection are available to USB-xCOMi-SI.
Each RS-422/485 port is individually optically isolated with 2000 volt DC optical isolation. The optical
isolation protects your PC or notebook from spikes and surges on the RS-422/485 network, by converting
the electrical pulse into an optical signal and then changing it back into an electrical pulse. Your
computer is well protected, since the surges and spikes cannot cross the optical link.
Each RS-422/485 port is individually protected by surge protector to withstand electrostatic discharge
and power surges up to 25KV ESD. Surge suppression on all signals prevent from damages caused by
lighting or high voltage.
