    USB to Octal RS-232/422/485 Adapter

    Introduction

    The USB to Octal Serial Adapter is designed to make serial port expansion quick
    and simple. Connecting to a USB port on your computer or USB hub, the USB Serial
    Adapter instantly adds eight RS-232/422/485 multi-electrical interface serial
    communication ports to your system. By taking advantage of the USB bus, the USB
    Serial Adapter makes it easier than ever to add 8 serial ports and serial devices to
    your system with easy plug-and-play and hot plug features. Adapting the new
    technology, the serial port expansion now takes the new bus with easy and
    convenient connectivity.

    Plugging the USB Octal Serial Adapter to the USB port, the adapter is automatically
    detected and installed. There are no IRQ & COM port conflicts, since the port
    doesn't require any additional IRQ, DMA, memory as resources on the system. The
    RS-232, or RS-422/485, port functions as native Windows COM port, and it is
    compatible with Windows serial communication applications. Each port is
    individually configurable. The adapter is designed with external switches to set
    RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 ports and different operation modes conveniently. There
    is no need to open the chassis to set the ports.

    The USB Serial Adapter provides instant connectivity to RS-232, or RS-422/485,


    communication devices for factory automation equipment, multi-drop data
    collection devices, barcode readers, time clocks, scales, data entry terminals, ATMs
    and serial communication in harsh environment. The USB to Serial Adapter is
    suitable for remote access, retail and industrial application, data collection and
    other applications requiring high speed RS-232, or RS-422/485, communication
    ports.

    Power Supply

    z Input : AC 100V ~ 240V, 47 – 63 Hz.


    z Output : DC 5.0V 4A.

    Hardware Installation
    Outside the unit, there are eight 4-pin DIP switches which are set to select the mode
    of operation. You will need to set the switch settings to RS-232 mode, or RS-422, or
    RS-485 mode as per the requirements of your application.

    You need to install driver first, prior to hardware installation. After the setting of DIP
    switches and connecting power cord to the adapter, you then plug the adapter to
    USB port to start driver installation.

    The Mode Block Configuration Settings are listed as follows:

    SW1 (Port-1), SW2 (Port-2), SW3 (Port-3), SW4


    (Port-4)
    SW5 (Port-5), SW6 (Port-6), SW7 (Port-7), SW8

    JP5 (Port-5), JP6 (Port-6), JP7 (Port-7), JP8 (Port-8)
    for Termination and Biasing Option Configuration

    Inside the unit, there are eight 2 x 7 (14 pin) header blocks which are jumpered to
    enable Tx, Rx, CTS 120 Ohm termination resistors and Tx, Rx 750 Ohm BIASing
    resistor.

    You will need to open up the metal case and set the jumper setting for RS-422 mode
    or RS-485 mode as per the requirements of your application.

    Settings are listed as follows:

    Jumper Function
    1-2 Tx Termination of 120 Ohm.
    This jumper should always be populated for RS-485 mode.
    3-4 Pull-up Tx+ to VCC by 750 Ohm Bias resistor.
    This jumper should be populated for pull-up Tx+.
    5-6 Pull-down Tx- to GND by 750 Ohm Bias resistor.
    This jumper should be populated for pull-down Tx- .
    7-8 Rx Termination of 120 Ohm.
    This jumper should always be populated for RS-422 mode.
    9-10 Pull-up Rx+ to VCC by 750 Ohm Bias resistor.
    This jumper should be populated for pull-up Rx+
    11-12 Pull-down Rx- to GND by 750 Ohm Bias resistor.
    This jumper should be populated for pull-down Rx- .
    13-14 CTS Termination of 120 Ohm.
    This jumper should always be populated for RS-422 mode.

    Note : Sometimes, when operating in RS-422 or RS-485, it is necessary to configure


    termination and biasing of the data transmission lines. Generally this must be done
    in the cabling, since this depends on the installation of connections. Before
    applying the option, check your cable specification for proper impedance matching.

    Windows Vista / 2003 / XP / 2000 Driver Installation
    You need to have administrator privileges to install any new drivers under Windows
    Vista /2003/XP /2000. To install the driver or update the configuration please log
    onto Windows as "Administrator" or ask your system administrator to install the
    USB-COM driver.

    You need to install driver first, prior to hardware installation. Do not connect the
    USB-to-Serial Adapter to the USB port of your computer, before you finish driver
    installation.

    Please proceed with the following steps to install the driver:

    1. Insert the “USB to Serial Driver and Utility” CD into your CD-ROM.
    2. The “USB to Serial Driver and Utility CD” dialog box appears.
    3. Under “Driver Installation”, double click “Windows Vista, 2003, XP, 2000
    driver” to install the device driver.
    4. If your Windows is 64-bit, you need to select “Windows (64-bit) Vista, 2003,
    XP driver” for driver installation.
    5. After the message “FTDI CDM drivers have been successfully installed”
    appears, click “finish” to complete the driver installation.
    6. Plug in the USB Serial device to the USB port of your computer. Windows
    will finish installing the driver files.

    Check Installation

    You can now verify the installation has been completed successfully by looking
    under Device Manager of the System Properties screen. (Go there by Start-Setting-
    Control Panel-System Properties-Hardware-Device Manager.

    The device should have installed as a "USB Serial Port (COMx)" attached to "USB
    Serial Converter (A/B)".

    Change COM Port Properties & COM Port Number

    This feature is particularly useful for programs, such as HyperTerminal, which only
    work with COM1 through COM4. Please ensure that you do not change the COM
    Port Number already in use.

    To change the virtual COM port properties:

    z Select the "USB Serial Port"


    z Click “Properties”.
    z Select "Port Setting" and “Advanced”.
    z Click the drop down arrow on COM Port Number and scroll to the required COM
    port. Select "OK".
    z Return to the Device Manager Screen. You will see that the USB Serial Port
    installation has been changed to the new COM Port Number.
