Installation

To ensure a quick and easy device installation, please read through this section carefully and

complete each step in the order listed.

The following section identies how to install ICUSB232PRO on a computer running Windows XP.

Installation for other Windows operating systems (98SE, ME, 2000 etc.) are similar, if not identical.

Windows XP Installation

1. With your computer turned on, insert the driver disk into your CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive.

2. Locate the driver installation package, titled 2303 Driver Installer.exe.

3. Once the InstallShield Wizard launches, it will indicate that it is ready to install the 2303

USB-to-Serial driver. Please click Next to continue.

4. Following installation, the InstallShield Wizard will notify you that the drivers have been

installed successfully. Please click on Finish to complete installation and close the installation

program.

5. Locate an available USB port on your computer. Connect the USB-to-Serial adapter.

6. Windows should detect the driver as a Prolic USB-to-Serial Comm Port. Prior to installing the

serial port, you may be notied that the device driver has not yet passed Windows XP Logo

compatibility. Click Continue Anyway. Windows will then start to install the driver for the

USB-to-Serial Comm Port.

7. When Windows has found the proper driver, click Next then Finish to complete the

installation.

Connecting peripherals to the adapter

1. With your computer turned on and the adapter already installed, plug the desired peripheral

into the adapter and apply power to the peripheral device.

procedures and follow the on-screen prompts to install the device. If you have previously

installed the device on another of your computer’s RS-232 (COM) ports, the proper drivers

should be located and installed automatically.
