2 Hardware Installation 2.1 Network Architecture Traditional serial port communication uses a COM port board that slides into one of the slots at the back of your PC. With the ADAM-4562, you can access the COM port from USB ports. The ADAM-4562 can be integrated into the network architecture of any protocol. Note: all the operating systems on your host must support USB v1.1 or above standard, such as Windows 98/2000/XP. USB devices are used in “Master-Slave” architecture.
2.3 Serial Connection The model of the ADAM-4562 has one RS-232 DTE connector for connecting serial ports on the bottom of module. Note: In USB v1.1 standard, if you have used the COM3, COM4…..COMn of host PC. When you plug ADAM-4562 in the host PC, theCOM port will be COMn+1.

3. Driver and Utility Installation In order to use a PC to control serial devices connected to the ADAM4562, you must first have a host running Windows 98/2000/XP. Following are the installation instructions to set up the ADAM-4562. 1. Insert the ADAM-4562 Driver utility diskette into the CD drive (e.g. E:\) on the host PC. 2. Plug in the USB connector of ADAM-4562 then system will detect the new device automatically and show the hardware wizard.
3. Indicate the location to specify the installation path like as E:\ADAM-4562/driver/98_2k_XP/ then it will auto-select the suitable driver to install for your system. After you have specified the installation path, click the Next button. 4.
