Software and Hardware Installation (continued)

2.3. Please read the next screen regarding the software license

agreement. If you agree to the terms of the license

agreement, click “Continue”.

2.4. The screen that follows will now prompt you to commence

installation. Click on “Install”.

2.5. A message will appear warning you to restart your

computer after installation. Click “Continue”.

2.6. Click “Restart” to complete the installation. This will

restart your computer.

The Belkin USB Serial Installer application will place 4 items on

the “Extensions” folder (located in your hard drive’s “System”

folder), namely: 1) Belkin USB Serial driver, 2) Belkin USB Serial

Shim, 3) Belkin USB Serial Hal, 4) Serial Shim Lib.

Note: The installer will not run unless you have the Mac®OS

USB version 1.0.1 (or later) drivers installed.

Software and Hardware Installation (continued)

If you have an iMac™computer running Mac®OS 8.1, the

Mac®OS USB drivers version 1.0.1 can be installed by

installing the iMac™Update 1.0. This update can be

downloaded from Apple®’s web site at www.apple.com.

If you have an iMac™or a blue and white G3 running Mac®OS

8.5, the Mac®OS USB drivers version 1.0.1 (or later) is already

installed. You do not need to install any further software.

Step 3: Connect the adapter to your USB port.

After restarting the computer, attach the Belkin USB Serial

Adapter for Macintosh®to your Macintosh®computer by

connecting the adapter and the USB device cable (Part#

F3U133-06) to any built-in USB port on your Macintosh®

computer or any USB hub. It is not necessary to turn off your

Mac®when attaching the Belkin USB Serial Adapter.

Note: The DB9 and MiniDIN 8 port cannot be used at the

same time. Connect only one device to either port.

Do not attempt to connect devices on each port at

the same time.

After installing the USB Serial Adapter driver and restarting

the computer, you can connect the USB Serial Adapter. First

connect the USB Serial Adapter to the computer, then

connect a Serial device to the USB Serial Adapter. The Serial

device is now ready for use.

Step 4: Installation Complete!

Your Belkin USB Serial Adapter for Macintosh®is now ready

for use.

Connecting Serial Devices

Special instructions for users using Mac®OS 8.1 and 8.5

If you are using Mac®OS 8.1 or 8.5, you will need to specify the

port required by your device, which is either Printer Port or

Modem Port. Some serial devices require Printer Port Emulation

to work (some examples are HP DeskWriter Printers and Kodak

and Epson Cameras). These devices require Printer Port

Emulation to work because their drivers can only recognize the

Macintosh®computer printer port. For these devices the

following connection procedure should be followed:

1. Hold down the “Option” key on the keyboard while

connecting the USB Serial Adapter to the Mac®/

iMac™computer.

2. After the USB Serial Adapter for Macintosh®is connected,

then release the “Option” key.

3. Connect the printer, camera or serial device to the USB

Serial Adapter.

4. Run the printer or serial device software and the devices

should begin working.

5. In some cases, after restarting the computer, the printer or

camera may disconnect or stop working. To reconnect,

repeat steps 1 through 4.

Connecting Serial Devices (continued)

Note: If you do not know whether your device requires

Printer Port Emulation, simply connect your serial

device normally after the USB Serial Adapter driver

installation. If it does not work initially, it is possible

that the serial device requires Printer Port Emulation.

If so, follow steps 1 through 4 listed above.

For Mac®8.6 users you do not need to do the above

instructions. Mac®OS 8.6 has advanced USB support, it

automatically detects and installs the port emulation needed

by your device. After the installation of the Belkin USB Serial

Adapter, just connect the USB Serial Adapter to the

computer, then connect a Serial device to the USB Serial

Adapter and you are ready to use it.
