If required, attach the supplied DB9 F–DB25 M adapter to match a DB25 serial port.

After driver installation, configure the serial port settings (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits) in your application to match the connected device.

Recommendations

Use a direct USB port on the computer rather than a USB hub for the most stable connection. Verify serial port settings in device software before data transfer and keep the driver updated for compatibility with your operating system.
