Add a high-speed RS-232 serial port to your PC or server using its USB port. The single-port Black BOX® USB Director RS-232 makes it easy to connect and disconnect your modems and printers.By converting the USB port on your desktop PC, laptop, or Thin client to a high-speed RS-232 DB9 serial port, the USB Director RS-232 enables you to attach any peripheral that uses a standard serial interface to your PC. It’s the economic alternative to installing a serial card in your computer.
To install the USB Director RS-232, you simply plug the Type A end of the included USB cable into the USB port and the Type B end into the converter. Connections can be made without powering down the network or removing the cover of your server or PC. Hot-swappable, the converter attaches outside the computer chassis and doesn’t require a card slot or setting IRQ jumpers and device address.
