Installation
Note: The following instructions show how to install
the driver on a Windows 7 computer. The installation
steps will be similar for other Windows operating
systems. For non-Windows operating systems,
reference the installation files on the CD or on
Tripp Lite’s website at www.tripplite.com. Compatible
Android devices do not require a driver for use with
the U209-005-C, but do require that a terminal
server application be downloaded. The Prolific
PL2303 USB-UART app is recommended and can be
found in the Google Play Store.
1. Without connecting the U209-005-C, power
on your computer and insert the driver
CD that came with the product into your
computer’s CD ROM drive.
2. Click on the CD icon to access its file
contents, then click on the “PL2303” file to
run the driver installation application.
