TROUBLESHOOTING:
If the adapter is not communicating after installation of the driver, follow the troubleshooting suggestions below.
•
Many serial devices will not operate on a COM port higher than 4. If the COM port is higher than 4, change it to a lower number using the Device
Properties.
•
To change the assigned COM number, go to the Start menu, click Control Panel then System. Select the Hardware tab and then Device Manager.
Select the category
“Ports (COM & LPT)” and right click the device “USB-to-Serial (COM x)” (Or a similar name. “X” represents the assigned COM
number). Click the Port Settings tab, then the Advanced button. A box will be in the lower left corner to assign a different COM port to the adapter.

This procedure applies only to Windows 98SE, ME, 2000, and XP.
