Belkin F5U103, P73309 user manual Adding Non-Plug-and-Play Legacy Devices, LED Indicator Lights

4.2. Adding Non-Plug-and-Play (Legacy) Devices

Non-Plug-and-Play devices must be added through the “Add New Hardware Wizard” in the “Control Panel”. Using this wizard, follow the installation instructions that came with your device.

4.3. LED Indicator Lights

There are three LEDs on the USB Serial Adapter. When the device is installed, the center, green LED will remain blinking until the installation is complete. If the installation is successful, the red LED will remain on, indicating power. When the device is plugged in after installation, the lights will blink one at a time in sequence from the red LED to the green LED, then back. When the device has fully initialized and is ready to work, the red power LED will remain on. During normal usage, the two green LEDs indicate data being transmitted and received.

4.4. Using the USB Serial Adapter With DOS Applications

To enable the USB Serial Adapter to work with DOS applications, follow the instructions in section 3.2 Adding DOS Box Support. You can

choose a different name for DOS than what is used for Windows® . You may need to do this if the USB Serial Adapter has been installed as

COM5 or higher, since many DOS applications will only use COM1-COM4. For instance, if you are adding DOS Box support to COM7, you can choose to have DOS applications use the device as COM2 instead, if COM2 is not already in use. COM7 would still be available for use with Windows® applications, but both COM2 and COM7 refer to the same physical device. Therefore, while a DOS application is using COM2, COM7 will be unavailable to Windows® applications and vice-versa.
