2.1 - Capabilities

The Keyspan USB Serial Adapter provides

one male DB9 serial port

which supportsRS-232

asynchronous communications at

data rates up to 230 Kbps

. Please read our

Compatibility List for Windows

for a list of serial devices that have been tested with the Keyspan

USB Serial Adapter.

Keyspan USB Serial Adapter Port

Keyspan USB Serial Adapter

Serial Port

The DB9 port on the Keyspan Adapter is seen as a COM port by Windows. The Keyspan COM

port is interfaced via the "Win32 Communications API" and is then available to any program that

accesses COM ports via this API.

By default, the COM port number assigned to the Keyspan adapter is the first unassigned

(available) COM port number in the Windows registry. For example, if COM1 and COM2 have

already been assigned or set aside by any software or hardware, the Keyspan adapter will take the

next COM port (COM3). This COM port number can then be accessed via your serial device's

software (ie Palm's HotSync Manager, Wacom tablet control panel, etc.)

Note: You can connect more than one Keyspan USB Serial Adapter to

your USB equipped Windows computer. The DB9 ports on subsequent

adapters will have a different COM port numbers.

hardware

) to the Keyspan port

configure your serial device's

software

Step 3

Check the Keyspan Serial Assistant

Now that your serial device is connected to the Keyspan adapter, you should check to see if the

Keyspan serial port is installed correctly.

To do this, open the

Keyspan Serial Assistant

(in

Start

menu ->

Programs

Keyspan USB

Serial Adapter

Keyspan Serial Assistant

)

. When you open the

Keyspan Serial Assistant

, you will see the following window:

the

Keyspan Serial Assistant

window

If your Keyspan hardware and software are installed correctly, you will see your adapter in the

Adapter Status

' tab box. You should also see the

COM port number (ie COM1,COM2

, etc.)

and theCOM Port Status.(IDLE or BUSY).

The COM port number and its COM port Status

message are

very important

to configuring

your serial device.

The COM port Status

is the state of the Keyspan serial port. All serial ports have two states,

BUSY (aka "In Use") or IDLE (aka "

Available

"). When serial port isIDLE

, the port is

available

for use by any serial device's software. When a COM port is

BUSY

, the serial port is

in use by

software and therefore

not available

to other programs.

The COM port number

is the address of the Keyspan serial port. In order for any serial device to

communicate via the Keyspan adapter, that serial device's software must be told to use the Keyspan

COM port number.

If you see your COM port number and its COM port Status

, proceed to

Step 4. If you do not

see either of these items, proceed

Problem Solving

section in this manual.

Rev 03jul13 Page 7

Step 4

Determine Where To Select/Configure The Keyspan Serial Port(s)

Prior to using your serial device with a Keyspan serial port, you must first tell that serial device's

software

which serial port your serial device

hardware

is connected to.

For example, if you have a Palm, you will have to tell the Palm Desktop

software to look for your

Palm handheld (

hardware

) on a Keyspan serial port. By doing this, you establish communication

between your serial device's

software

(ie the Palm Desktop software) and your serial device

hardware (the Palm handheld unit).

Most serial devices will have software that will allow you to select which serial port the device is

connected to. Depending on your serial device and its software, you may have to configure: a

Control Panel (ie modems accessing ISPs), an application (ie UPSes), or some combination of

these (ie modems accessing terminals using Zterm).

Please refer to your serial devices documentation on which method your serial device uses and how

to access that software's serial port "configuration" screen.

Once you've determined where to select or configure your serial device's software's serial port

settings, please proceed to

Step 5.

Step 5

Determine Which Serial Port To Select In Your Serial Device's Software

When you've found the port selection screen in your serial device's software, you may be presented

with a list of COM port numbers, a place to type in a COM port number, or some combination of

both.

At this point, you have to select or enter COM port number of the Keyspan serial adapter you are

connecting to. Please note that you can see the COM port number in the

Adapter Status

tab in

the

Keyspan Serial Assistant

Step 6

Use Your Serial Device

Once you've configured your serial software to use the Keyspan serial port, you're ready to start

using your serial device under Windows.
