Installing your USB to DB9 Serial SuperBooster Wall Plate
Driver Installation
Make sure you install the driver software before plugging the transmitter into the
USB port for the first time!
1. Insert the CD into your CD-ROM. The CD should auto-run and a menu should
appear. Click the relevant product button, and then click the “Install Driver”
button. Follow the on screen prompts until the installation wizard is finished.
2. Reboot your PC.
3. After the computer boots, plug in the adapter. Windows will find new hardware
and install the appropriate drivers.
(If the CD does not auto-run or a menu does not appear, click Start, Run, and type
D:\autorun.exe. Substitute D:\ for the letter of your CD-ROM drive. )

Troubleshooting
If you find that the adapter is not communicating after installing the driver try

If the COM port is higher than 4, you should change it to a lower number. You can
do this through the Device properties.
