Installing the USB Drivers
The following two USB drivers must be installed on your computer to
enable the computer to recognize the 1203-USB converter when using any
of the configuration tools (Connected Components Workbench,
DriveExplorer, DriveExecutive, or HyperTerminal software):
• USB Converter driver
• USB Serial Port driver
If you intend to use Connected Components Workbench software, version
2.xx or later, to configure the converter and connected drive, these two USB
drivers are automatically installed during the installation of this software.
However, if you intend to use an earlier version of this software tool or
DriveExplorer, DriveExecutive, or HyperTerminal software, you must
manually install these two USB drivers. This requires downloading and
extracting both USB drivers to the computer, and then installing both USB
drivers. For instructions to do this, see the next two subsections.
Download Both USB Drivers to the Computer
To obtain both USB drivers required for the 1203-USB converter and USB
serial port, perform the following steps.
1. Go to the Allen-Bradley Web Updates website at http://www.ab.com/
support/abdrives/webupdate .
2. Click the 1203-USB link in the 7-Class or 4-Class Peripherals section.
3. Download the zip file to a unique location on your computer.
