These USB adapters are intelligent modules which provide a cost-effective solution for transferring high-speed asynchronous serial data over USB. The adapters provide easy connectivity between the computer and standard communication ports or remote serial devices. No PC reconfiguration, assignment of IRQs, or jumper settings required. The adapter will be recognized as a USB to Serial Adapter and install in the system as a standard COM port.
