INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this MANHATTAN

USB to Serial Converter,
Model 205146.
Modern computers are often not equipped with RS-232 ports, making
the use of legacy peripherals and communication devices more difcult.
The MANHATTAN USB to Serial Converter, with its serial RS-232 port,
easily expands a single USB 1.1 port to connect and support 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:
• Gold-plated contacts and rugged construction provide a reliable
connection between the computer and serial peripherals
• Windows compatible
• Plug and Play
• Hot-swappable
• Lifetime Warranty
System Requirements
• USB 1.1 or 2.0 port
• Windows 2000/XP/Vista
Package Contents

• User manual and driver CD
