INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this MANHATTAN
®
USB to Serial Converter,
Model 174947.
Today’s computers often aren’t equipped with RS232 ports, making the
use of legacy peripherals and communication devices more difcult.
With its serial RS232 ports, the MANHATTAN USB to Serial Converter
easily expands a single USB 1.1 port to connect and support a couple
of serial modems, barcode scanners, digital cameras, card readers
and other devices.
The easy-to-follow instructions in this manual help make installation
of the converter quick and simple, so you’ll also soon be enjoying the
benets of these additional features:
• Transfer rate of up to 115.2 kbps
• Windows compatible
• Plug and Play
• Hot-swappable
• Lifetime Warranty
System Requirements
• USB 1.1 or 2.0 port
• Windows 2000/XP/Vista
Package Contents
• USB to Serial Converter
• User manual and driver CD
