The USB Director RS-232 also
comes with a configuration utility
program that enables you to
manage various resources on
the unit, such as mapping of each
physical communications port to
your Windows COM port numbers.
You can reassign the physical
ports on the USB Director RS-232
to any available Windows COM
port number 1 to 255 or give your
USB Director RS-232 a user-
friendly device name—a feature
that’s particularly helpful if you
intend to install more than one
USB Director RS-232.
To install the USB Director,
you don’t need to open the
chassis, power down your
computer, or reconfigure the
system. It supports baud rates of
up to 230 kbps per port.
A tri-state LED shows the
device status and COM port
activity. The Director is
compatible with USB 1.0 and 1.1.
The USB Director offers full
hardware and software flow-
control support. And it costs less
per port than serial boards. Each
port features a UART with 64-byte
FIFOs.
No additional IRQ or memory
is required. And jack screws keep
your serial devices securely in
place.
