If you do not see “Ports (COM & LPT)” when the drivers are installed and the controller connected and
powered up, then the computer may not fully support USB and RS-232. Certain inexpensive laptops
have been observed with this defect. The workaround solution for this problem is to use a Serial Port
PCI Card. Alternately, your computer may work with a Keyspan USA19HS High Speed USB / Serial
Adapter. This device, a cable with two connectors, plugs into your USB port, and the other end is a
serial port connector. With either the Keyspan or the Serial Card, you connect the device to the
controller via a serial null modem cable. A serial null modem cable is furnished with each ASI
controller and widely available at computer stores. Note that if the words “NULL MODEM” are not
stamped on the connectors of a serial cable, it is probably not a null modem cable.
