If the operating system does not complete the installation, follow these instructions:

1. Select Search for the best driver for your device; then click Next.

 2. Click Next.
 3. Click Finish.

The serial device installation is complete. You can now use the serial device.

Disconnecting and reconnecting the hub

You do not need to turn off your computer to disconnect or reconnect the USB hub.
To disconnect the hub from the computer, simply unplug the USB cable from the
computer. To reconnect the hub, reconnect the USB cable to the computer. The
devices and their device drivers are activated when you connect the cable.
