Installing the Drivers
When the USB-Serial Conversion Cable is connected to the computer, the operating
system (OS) will recognize the Cable as a new device. At this point, the driver can be
installed with the wizard.
The actual driver installation method depends on the OS being used. Windows XP and
Windows 8 are used in the examples in this section.
Note
The USB-Serial Conversion Cables are compatible with Windows XP.
