Proceed with the hardware installation of your SeaLINK USB serial adapter.
Windows NT is not USB aware, and thus, it cannot support this device.
The
485 can be connected to any Upstream Type A USB port at the PC host or an Upstream Hub.
Since it is hot pluggable, there is no need to power down your computer prior to installation. The
485 requires no user hardware configuration. Once you have installed the software simply plug
the USB connector into an available USB port. The drivers that were installed during setup will automatically
be used to configure the adapter. In Windows XP and previous OS versions, you should see one or more
‘Found New Hardware’ windows, indicating the actual device being created and enumerated. See below. In
Vista and newer operating systems, the enumeration occurs automatically without user interaction.
Windows XP
Once the device has been connected, the Found New Hardware wizard will appear

– first for
the USB part, and then for the serial port that you are installing.
The following instructions are applicable to the Windows XP operating system and may vary depending on
your version of Windows.
