Installation

Note: The following instructions detail driver installation on a Windows 7 computer. Steps are similar for other Windows operating systems. For non-Windows operating systems, consult the installation files on Tripp Lite's website at tripplite.com. Compatible Android devices do not require a driver but need a terminal server application, such as the Prolific PL2303GS USB-UART app available in the Google Play Store.

1. Step 1

   Without connecting the U209-000-R, power on your computer. Drivers for the adapter can be downloaded from tripplite.com/support.

2. Step 2

   When the driver installer program launches, click the "Next" button to start the installation. This will display the InstallShield Wizard for PL-2303 USB-to-Serial.

3. Step 3

   The driver installation begins. A progress bar tracks your progress in the installation process. The screen will show "Setup Status" and indicate that PL-2303 USB-to-Serial is configuring your new software installation.

4. Step 4

   Once the installation process is complete, click the "Finish" button to close the program. The screen will confirm "InstallShield Wizard Complete".

5. Step 5

   Connect the U209-000-R to an available USB port on your computer. Windows will detect the adapter and assign it a COM port upon completing the installation.

6. Step 6

   To verify successful installation, navigate to your computer's Control Panel and open the Device Manager screen. The adapter will appear in the Ports section, listed as "Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port (COM3)" or similar, with its assigned COM port.
