System Installation
The SeaLINK+232 can be connected to any Upstream Type “A” port either at the PC host or an Upstream Hub, and
since it is hot pluggable, there is no need to power down your computer prior to installation. The SeaLINK+232
requires no user hardware configuration. Once you have installed the software simply plug the SeaLINK+232 into
an available USB port. The drivers that were installed during setup will automatically be used to configure the
adapter. You should see one or more “New Hardware Found”, indicating the actual port being created. If you view
your systems’ Device Manager at this point, you should have a new “COM” port in the Ports (COM & LPT) Device
Class. You can access your new COM: port by using the assigned COM: identifier. This assignment will vary from
system to system. At this point, the hardware is recognized. To verify operation use Sealevel Systems supplied
WinSSD diagnostic utility. WinSSD can be found in the Start, Programs group.
