3.11. USB Driver Setup

When interfacing a MuxLab device with the USB port on Windows XP, Windows 7,
or Windows 8 operating systems, a driver setup file will be required. For Linux and
Mac OS X operating systems, no driver is necessary.

To install the USB serial driver, download the SC-000032-A USB to serial driver file
from the MuxLab website and save it to the local hard drive. NOTE: If the
downloaded file is compressed, it will have to be uncompressed before using it.

Plug the USB cable between the device and the PC, and power up the device. The
