PRODUCT INFORMATION Installation Notes Expand the USB Controllers tree. The USB Serial Converter will be listed. These USB to serial converters are offered as serialized (each unit has a unique electronic serial number) or with locked serial numbers (each unit has the same electronic serial number). LS models are great for applications, such as field service, in which a pool of converters are shared. SERIALIZED - Select a serialized model if the USB to serial Converter is to be assigned to a unique COM port. If you plug in a converter with a different serial number, the driver installation procedure will be initiated again. This will also allocate another COM port and USB Controller in Windows. This will happen even if the first converter is not plugged in. LOCKED SERIAL NUMBER - Select a locked serial number model (-LS suffix) if you desire different USB to serial converters of the same type to share a single COM port (one at a time). With the locked serial number models, you only need to install the driver once, provided two converters are not plugged in at the same time. The locked serial number products are intended for uses, such as field service, in which PC's and converters are mixed and matched. Instructions for uninstalling the driver are located on the CD ROM. www.bb-elec.com orders@bb-elec.com support@bb-elec.com International Office: 707 Dayton Road PO Box 1040 Ottawa, IL 61350 USA 815-433-5100 Fax 433-5104 European Office: Westlink Commercial Park Oranmore Co.
