When Using a Tripp Lite USB to Serial Adapter
(U209-000-R) on a Laptop/Notebook PC.
The following procedure may be required if you have a laptop that does
not have a hardwired native serial port. On this type of unit, the
manufacturer may have eliminated the serial chipset on the motherboard
thereby disabling the USB adapter’s port emulation feature. If this is the
cause of your problem, the following procedure will resolve this issue.
Please follow the instructions in their entirety.
