Drivers
Installation
2.1.1
Windows operation
system
2.1.1.1
Windows XP
Drivers can be installed from enclosed CD-ROM.
When the UCAB232i converter has been inserted into
USB port, operating system will detect it as a new
hardware. Choose automatic installation (recommended).
When have asked for drivers path, check „Search
CD-ROM“, drivers will be found automatically. If there is
any trouble with finding the drivers, you can select
the option „Install the driver from specific location” and
navigate to the folder containing the driver manually:
[CD]:\drivers\FTDI_UCAB232_UMPx_UMSx\Windows_2K_XP_Vista_7
When the drivers has been installed a new device is
detected again – for now, it is a virtual COM port.
Please repeat installation process written above once
more.
After that, your UCAB232i converter is ready for use.
2.1.1.2
Windows 7
With Windows 7 operation system drivers are installed
automatically from Microsoft update server every time
the UCAB232i converter has been inserted into USB
port. The successful installation is indicated by a
message.
2.1.2
Linux operation system
LINUX kernel 2.6.31 or newer includes required drivers
and there is no need to install them. If you use
operation system based on that kernel, the UCAB232i
converter will simply start to work when it has been
inserted into USB port.
