Minimum PC Requirements
With traditional external interfaces, each connected device requires its own
resource. If the system has a keyboard, a mouse, a serial port and a printer,
for instance, a total of four IRQ resources are used for these devices. On the
other hand, a USB device uses only one resource even when up to 126
additional devices are attached to it. Furthermore, all USB devices use the
same USB cable; the user no longer needs to obtain multiple cables with
different connector types.
Undoubtedly, USB is a cost-effective, easy-to-use new connection standard
with a minimum computer resource requirement. Many computer
peripherals with USB support are already available today.
The URS-02 USB Serial Adapter has a Type B connector on one side (as a
standard USB device) and a legacy COM or RS-232 port connector (DB-
25M) on the other side. Thus, the Serial Adapter will allow you to plug
legacy COM port devices such as a modem, digital assistant, printer, etc. to
the new USB bus. URS-02 will appear to the system as an additional COM
port. Since a unique COM port number is assigned to the device, the serial
adapter can be accessed from an application that runs in Windows98 DOS
emulation mode.
● Complies with USB Spec.1.1
●
No external AC adapter is required (draws power from the USB bus)*
●
Provides the easy operability of a standard serial port
● Fully supports Plug and Play
※
The Serial Adapter is bus-powered; all you need to do is plug it into the hub or PC. If you have
more than one USB device, you may need to provide extra power at the hub.
