4.1 - Configuring Your Serial Device

Prior to using your serial device (modem,UPS, etc.) with the Keyspan USB Serial Adapter, you

must:

1. connect your serial device (hardware) to the Keyspan port
2. configure your serial device's software to use the Keyspan port

The following instructions provide a general overview of this process.

Note: We will be adding detailed instructions in how to configure specific serial devices
in the future. Please check Keyspan's website for the latest version of this document.

Connecting Your Serial Device (Hardware)

If your Keyspan adapter is not connected, please do so NOW.

Step 1

Connect Your Serial Device To The Keyspan Adapter

Attach your serial device's serial cable to the serial port on your Keyspan USB Serial Adapter.

Step 2

Determine Which Keyspan Port Your Serial Device Is Connected To

If you have a Keyspan product that has more than one serial port, please note which Keyspan serial
port your serial device is connected to (the serial port on the Keyspan product, not your USB ports
on your computer or USB hub). This information will become useful as we start Configuring Your
Serial Device's Software.

The following configuration instructions provide a basic overview of how to configure your
software to use your Keyspan serial port(s). For specific instructions on how to operate your serial
