Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the LINDY USB to 4 Port Serial Converter. This device provides multiple external RS-232 connections to your PC. It features four standard 9 Way D Male connectors for connecting your serial devices.

The unit’s compact size makes it ideal for use with notebooks or as an alternative to installing an internal serial card in your desktop PC. It supports most standard RS-232 serial devices such as modems, ISDN terminal adaptors, PDAs, barcode readers, label printers, EPOS devices etc.

Installation is easy with no changes to IRQ, I/O Address or DMA settings needed. In most instances, when the converter is connected to a PCs USB port or to a self-powered USB, no additional power supply is required.
