Support of older OS Windows versions and OS Linux support
Earlier MS Windows versions (Vista, Windows XP and older ones) do not support sufficiently the installation of
multiple virtual serial ports onto one physical USB port and the current versions of
”
USB GateWay” and
”
USB-
IRDA” devices cannot be connected to the computers with these operating systems.
There is no need to install any drivers with serial port support to the computer with Linux OS as the Linux system
will automatically use its own generic drivers.
