10.1.4 How to use USB ports
Note. Some computers may not be fitted with an RS232 C O M port. Instead they will possess a USB port.
In this case it is necessary to fit a USB - RS232 convertor (Eg. Single in line convertor type USB to serial
male D9, or multiport type Belkin F5U120uPC). These are supplied with the required driver utilities soft w are
which needs to be installed on the computer first.
After installation of the driver soft w are, right click on the ‘My Computer’ icon and select Properties /
DeviceManager / Ports to find the port allocated to the convertor. (COM1, COM2, C OM3, or C O M4.).
Then you must use the nominated USB port allocation when setti ng up Hyperterminal or PL PILOT.
To select the COM port within PL PILOT go to the 'Options' menu in the top task bar. It will offer C OM1,
COM2, C O M3, or CO M4. It may need its baud rate setting to 19,200 in the 'Setup CO M Port' option.
Note. When using USB to RS232 converters always boot up the PC with the converter already plugged into
the PC so that it gets properly initialised.
