Frequently Asked Questions - ADAPTATEUR USB #F5U103VEA BELKIN

Does this adapter work under Windows 10?

The official driver is designed for Windows 98SE to XP. Under Windows 10, it may work with a generic driver or require a third-party driver. Test without driver first: Windows 10 often recognizes USB serial adapters as a standard COM port.

What is the maximum baud rate supported?

The programmable baud rate ranges from 75 bps to 6 Mbps (6,000,000 bps). Ensure your serial device supports this speed.

How to install the driver under Windows 98SE?

Insert the provided CD, plug in the adapter, follow the 'Add New Hardware' wizard. Choose 'Search for the best driver', then 'CD-ROM' and the folder 'D:\win98'. The system will copy the files and assign a COM port.

Which serial cable to use?

Use a standard DB9 male-to-female serial cable. The adapter has a DB9 male connector, your device must have a female connector.

Can I power a serial device via this adapter?

The adapter does not power the serial device. It has an independent power source for the serial interface, but the device must have its own power supply.

How to change the assigned COM port number?

Go to Device Manager, expand 'Ports (COM & LPT)', right-click on 'USB Serial Port (COMx)', select 'Properties', 'Port Settings' tab, then 'Advanced' to change the COM port number.

What to do if the adapter is not recognized?

Check that the driver is properly installed. Try another USB port. If the problem persists, uninstall the 'USB Serial Converter' driver in Device Manager and reinstall it.

Is it compatible with Mac OS or Linux?

The official driver is for Windows only. On Mac OS, third-party drivers (e.g., Prolific PL-2303 drivers) may work if the chipset is compatible. On Linux, the chipset is often recognized as 'pl2303' and works natively.

What is the length of the USB cable?

The built-in USB cable is approximately 15 cm (not precisely specified, reasonable estimate).

How to uninstall the driver?

Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs, select 'USB SERIAL Converter device' and click 'Remove'.
