Keyspan:High Speed USB Serial Adapter for Mac OS-v1.9 User Manual

MODEM port emulation is not available on any Mac that has an internal modem as internal modem typically emulates the MODEM port (PRINTER port emulation is typicall available on these Macs). Printer Port emulation can turned ON by using the Keyspan Serial Assistant's Advanced Setting's screen.

On Mac OS, Port 1 on the Keyspan High Speed USB Serial Adapter is named

"P#1USA19Wyyxx". This port is accessible by selecting the "P#1USA19Wyyxx" port name or the USA19W icon in your serial device's software . This port is published via the CommToolBox and can be accessed by CommToolBox Savvy software.

On Macs that do not have built-in serial ports (ie 'Blue and White' G3s, iMacs, iBooks, G4s, etc...), Port 1 can emulate the PRINTER port (as found on older Macintosh computers) for serial devices that are not CommToolBox Savvy and can't access the "P#1USA19Wyyxx" port. Printer Port emulation can turned ON by using the Keyspan Serial Assistant's Advanced Setting's screen. Once you've emulated the Printer port, Port 1 will be accessible by selecting the 'PRINTER' port icon or 'Printer Port USB' port name in your serial device's software. Printer port emulation is turned OFF by default.

Note: If you install more than one Keyspan High Speed USB Serial Adapters on your Mac, Port 1 on subsequent adapters will have different names (please contact Keyspan for details).

This User Manual applies to the Keyspan High Speed USB Serial Adapter Software for Mac OS.
