DESCRIPTION
The SerialComm USB-232-2 is a high quality, high performance bi-directional port powered USB to RS232 converter in a 9 pin format. It can convert any standard full duplex USB port to a RS232 signal in either direction. The USB to RS232 converter is powered by the FTDI chipset making it compatible with most computer systems and operating systems. The unit is powered from the USB port and requires no external power. It also features data direction auto-turnaround eliminating the need for flow control.. The USB-232-2 has a Type A female connector on the USB side and a DB9 male connector on the RS232 side. The FTDI software drivers are included in the package.
The USB-232-2 uses the latest FTDI chipset and is fully compatible with (32 /64 bits) versions of Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, XP, and 98: Windows Server 2022, 2019, 2016, 2012 R2, 2012, 2008 R2, 2008, 2003 R2, 2003 Mac 10.3 – 10.15, and Linux.

Using one USB-232-2 unit:
Perform a loop back test on one unit: Connect the TX to RX on the RS232 port. Connect the USB connector on the cable to the USB port of the computer Install the USB/RS232 FTDI driver on the computer per instructions provided. Running a hyper terminal program on the PC, send ASCII characters to the USB-232-2 converter from one PC port, and check that the characters are received at the same PC port. This tests that the transmit and receive functions of the USB-232-2 unit is working properly. When there is constant RX data you should see the GREEN light blink. When there is constant TX data you should see the RED light blink.
Using two USB-232-2 units:
Check that all connections comply with the connection diagrams. Perform a loop back test on two units: Connect the two TX to RX and RX and TX on two USB-232-2 RS232 ports. Or connect TX to TX and RX to RX with a null modem. Connect the two USB connectors to the USB ports of the computers. Install the USB/RS232 FTDI driver on the computer per instructions provided. Running hyper terminal programs on both PCs, send ASCII characters to the USB-232-2 converter from one PC port, and check that the characters are received at the 2nd PC port. Repeat the test in the opposite direction. This tests that the transmit and receive functions of both USB-232-2 units are working properly. When there is constant RX data you should see the GREEN light blink. When there is constant TX data you should see the RED light blink.
