UPort 1200/1400/1600 Series User’s Manual Introduction
1-2
Overview
UPort 1200/1400/1600 Series products are easy to use. Simply install the drivers, connect the
UPort to your computer, plug in your serial devices, and you’re ready to go. Programming is NOT
required, and you do not need to worry about IRQs, configuring a board, power requirements, or
connection schemes.
UPort Series products are compliant with USB 1.1, and 2.0 specifications, and meet the 480 Mbps
high-speed requirement. Using your computer’s USB ports to connect serial devices reduces the
total cost of ownership, investment in hardware, and long term management and integration costs.
The UPort Series supports both bus power and external power via an adapter. Bus power is
adapted for laptop or workstation connections that support 500 mA output for USB devices.
External power is adapted for those USB hubs that can only produce 100 mA of current.

Chapter 2 Driver Installation
This chapter includes information about installing the UPort 1200/1400/1600 USB-to-Serial Hub.
We present the installation procedure for Windows 2000. The procedures for Windows XP/2003
(32 bit) and Windows XP/2003 (64 bit) are essentially the same as that for Windows 2000.
We recommend installing the UPort 1200/1400/1600 driver first, before connecting the UPort
1400/1600 USB-to-Serial Hub to your computer’s USB port.
