USB Cable Usage Guide

The new Moxa latch USB cable comes with a latch on each side of the Type-A connector and a screw on the Type-B connector.

Plugging in the USB Cable Using Type A Connector

To plug in the USB cable to the host computer and secure it, do the following:

Removing the USB Cable

ATTENTION

Be cautious when plugging in or out the latch connector.

1. When the cable is plugged into a host computer or pulled out every time, always press both latches. Then, plug the connector into the receptacle on your computer or vice versa.
2. If the type A connector doesn’t come off smoothly, DO NOT pull the cable out by force as it will deform the hook on the connector, and you may not be able to use the cable again. Try again by pushing the latch hard and shake the connector left to right gently.

NOTE

The latch cable is designed to lock to most of the computer USB sockets; however, there may be some sockets that are designed with a slight marginal difference, which may cause the latch not to lock to your computer USB sockets perfectly.

Plugging in a USB Cable to the Host Computer Using Type B Connector The screw on the side of type B connector is for fixing the cable firmly to the UPort. Please remember to swivel the bolt after plugging in and before pulling out the connector.

• Step 1: Plug in type B connector.
• Step 2: Swivel the bolt about five rounds.

Pulling out a USB cable from the host computer

• Step 1: Swivel the bolt about five rounds until it is loose.
• Step 2: Pulling out type B connector.

Off| No data is being received, or the serial

device is not connected or out of operation

Serial Port Pin Assignments

The serial ports on the UPort 1400/1600-G2 have DB9 male connectors. Refer to the following table below for the RS-232 and RS-422/485 pin assignments.

NOTE

For the UPort with DB9 male serial ports, you may refer to the Serial Port Pin Assignments section to loop back pin 2 and pin 3 for the RS-232 interface to carry out a self-test on the device. You may refer to Communication Testing in the Software Installation sections in this document for how to use the loopback connector in the box to perform the communication test.

Adjustable Pull High/low Resistors for the RS-485 Port

The UPort uses DIP switches to set the pull high/low resistor values for each serial port.

• To set the pull high/low resistors to 150 KΩ, make sure both SW 1 and SW 2 switches are in the OFF position. This is the default setting.
• To set the pull high/low resistors to 1 KΩ, make sure both SW 1 and SW 2 switches are in the ON position.
• To set the termination on, SW 3 should be set to the ON position

ATTENTION

Do not use the 1-kΩ setting on the UPorts when using an RS-232 interface. Doing so will degrade the RS-232 signals and shorten the maximum allowed communication distance.

Software Installation

To install the UPort driver, please follow the installation procedure described in the Mounting the UPort 1400/1600-G2 section. UPort converters can be connected to any upstream type A USB port that is on the PC host or an upstream hub. UPort converters are hot-pluggable, and therefore there is no need to power down your computer prior to installation. When the UPort is successfully installed, use the operating system’s device manager to check and/or change the port settings. In Windows, the new COM port will be listed under Ports (COM & LPT).

Installing the Windows Driver Download and run the Setup program from the UPort’s product page and follow the installation steps.

A few things to note:

1. We recommend also installing companion utilities for future use. For an introduction of the utility, refer to the User Manual
2. After the driver is successfully installed, connect the UPort to your computer. Then, click Scan to review the installation results and confirm that the UPort is connected to your computer.
3. Check Launch Windows Driver Manager to configure the UPort after the setup is completed.
4. If you have installed ViewCOM, you can mouse over the ViewCOM icon in the system tray to see COM port information.
   The right-click context menu has the shortcut to Windows Device Manager and Auto Startup utilities if needed.

For configuration details, check COM Port Configuration section in the User Manual.

Installing the Linux Driver
