2. Driver Installation
In this chapter, we use Windows XP to illustrate how to install the UPort 2000 USB-to-serial converters. The
procedures for Windows 2000/2003/2008/2012 and Windows Vista are essentially the same.
We recommend installing the UPort 2000 Series driver first, before connecting the UPort 2000 USB-to-serial
converter to your computer’s USB port.

UPort’s USB Usage Limitation
1. A maximum of 4 UPort 2000 converters can be connected to one PC host. Connecting more than 4 UPort
2000 converters will put a strain on system resources, and could cause the computer to become unstable.
2. We recommend connecting the UPort 2000 directly to your PC’s USB port.
3. Although your UPort 2000 supports USB 1.1, we recommend using a USB 2.0 host controller or HUB to get
the best and most stable performance.
Installing the Windows Driver
1. Run the Setup Wizard located on the UPort 2000 Series Document and Software CD-ROM. Click Next to
start installing the driver.
2. Click Next to install the driver in the indicated folder.

5. Click Finish to complete the driver installation.
Connecting the Hardware
Please install the driver before connecting the UPort 2000 to your PC’s USB port. See the previous section for
details.
Connecting to a Serial Device
Use the proper serial cables to connect your serial devices to the UPort 2000’s serial ports, which support the
RS-232 interface. The UPort 2000’s serial ports use DB9 male connectors with standard RS-232 pin
assignment.
LED Indicators
The UPort 2000 has LEDs on the front panel. The “Active” LED indicates the power status, and the “TxD” and
“RxD” LEDs indicate the transmission status of each serial port. In addition, when you click “Locate” for a
particular UPort, that UPort’s “Active” LED will blink to indicate its location.
LED Name LED Color LED Function
Active Green Power is on
Off Power is off, or power error condition exists
TxD, RxD
Orange Port is receiving data from attached device
Green Port is transmitting data to attached device
Off No data is being transmitted or received

Installing the Driver for the Converter
1. After connecting the USB cable from UPort to host the PC, Windows XP will automatically detect the new
UPort, and the Found New Hardware balloon will open in the bottom right corner of the Windows desktop.
2. Case 1: The UPort Driver is Certified
If the UPort driver that you installed has been certified by Microsoft, the UPort and the UPort’s serial ports
will be installed automatically when you plug the UPort into your computer’s USB port.
Case 2: The UPort Driver is NOT Certified
If the UPort driver that you installed has not been certified by Microsoft, then plugging the driver into your
computer’s USB port will activate the UPort installation program. The first part of the installation procedure
installs the software for the UPort itself (the second part of the procedure installs the serial ports).
Select No, not at this time. Click Next to start the installation.
