Installation

Note: The following instructions show how to install the driver on a Windows 7 computer. The installation steps will be similar for 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-DB25, 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.

1. Without connecting the U209-005-DB25, power on your computer. Drivers for the
cable can be downloaded from tripplite.com/support.

2. When the driver installer program launches, click the Next button to start installation.

3. The driver installation begins. A progress bar tracks where you are in the installation
process.

4. Once the installation process is complete, click the Finish button to close out of the
program.

5. (Optional) Connect the DB9 to DB25 adapter to the U209-005-DB25’s DB9 port.

6. Connect the U209-005-DB25 to an available USB port on your computer.
Windows will detect the adapter and assign it a COM port upon completing the
installation.

7. To verify that your adapter has been successfully installed, navigate to your
computer’s Control Panel and open the Device Manager screen. The adapter will
appear in the Ports section, with its assigned COM port next to it.
