Installation

Note: The following instructions show how to install the driver on a Windows 7 computer. The installation steps will be similar to other Windows operating systems. For non-Windows operating systems, reference the installation files on Tripp Lite’s website at tripplite.com. Compatible Android devices do not require a driver for use with the U209-005-C but do require that a terminal server application be downloaded. The Prolific PL2303GS USB-UART app is recommended and can be found in the Google Play Store.
