Installation You can use the power adapter or the two-wire terminal block power input (9-36V DC) to power the USB serial hub. You can also use redundant power input by connecting both the power adapter and the terminal block power, and in the event that your power source fails, the USB serial hub will switch to use the secondary power source. Install the USB serial hub using the power adapter Warning! Make sure that the driver installation is complete before you plug in and connect the USB serial hub. 1.

6. Connect the positive and negative wires from your DC power source to the corresponding terminal block connectors. Note: Make sure that the polarity of the input power, positive (+) and negative (-), is matched correctly with the terminal block pins. 7. Tighten the two screws located on the top of the terminal block connector. 8. Reinsert the terminal block connector into the USB serial hub and tighten the screws to the left and right of the terminal block connector. Confirm installation Windows OS 1.

Perform a serial loopback test To verify that a port is operational and to map the ports, you should perform a serial loopback test. A loopback test sends and receives data to and from the same serial port. To complete the loopback test, you need to temporarily connect pin two and pin three to allow the signals to be sent and received on the same port. To perform a serial loopback test, you need a loopback adapter and a third-party software program (for example, PuTTY or HyperTerminal®). 1.
