Verifying a Serial Modem
Connection

When attaching a modem to the serial (RS232) port,
verify that the port assigned to your modem is Serial USB
(COMx), where x is the number of the COM port.

If the operating system does not detect automatically that
your modem is assigned to Serial USB (COMx), run the
Hardware Wizard again and choose Select from the list
instead of Autodetect. Then, select use Prolific Device
from Page
as the COM port.
