JUMPER SETTINGS
- JP2: – Pin-9 Power Setting Jumpers for S1and S2: The design of each DB9 male connector has an option to supply DC power to its Pin-9. Pin number 9 of the DB9 connector was defined for RS232 RI (Ring Indicator) signal. Since some applications do NOT use this signal, in this case, Pin-9 can be used to deliver DC power for the serial devices. This product provides 2 settings for the power, +5V
and +12V. The default factory setting was set at “DIS” (RI signal), i.e. no power supplied on the DB9M connector’s Pin-9.

SOFTWARE DRIVE INSTALLATION
Note:
PLEASE DO NOT LET WINDOWS AUTO SEARCH THE DRIVERS ON THE CD, it will
cause problems because the INF files will be conflict in this case.
Instead, please browse to the correct location (folder) manually to make sure
the correct drivers are chosen and installed correctly.
