How to use

Plug the USB Type-A connector into an available USB 2.0 port on your computer. Connect the RS-232 plug to the serial device–for example, a printer, modem or meter. Install the FTDI driver supplied by the operating system or from the manufacturer's website if the system does not automatically recognise the adapter. After driver installation, configure the serial port parameters (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits) in your application to match the connected device.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use a USB 2.0 or higher host port and verify driver installation before critical tasks. Keep cable runs short where possible and avoid placing the adapter near strong electromagnetic sources. Match serial communication settings exactly to the connected device to prevent data errors.
