Keyspan:USB Serial Adapter for Mac OS X-v2.x User Manual

1.1 - Introduction

The Keyspan USB Serial Adapter Software for Mac OS X allows you to add serial ports to your Mac OS X computer. Using Mac OS X native software, you can use your Keyspan USB to Serial Adapter to communicate with various serial devices via the POSIX API (for more information, Serial Ports - Mac OS X vs 'Classic' Mac OS section in this manual) .

Important Note:

The Keyspan USB Serial Adapter Software for Mac OS X will add 'Mac OS X serial ports' to your computer. These 'Mac OS X serial ports' can only be used by Mac OS X native software (ie a program that does not require the Classic environment to run). If you are not certain if your serial device's software can access Mac OS X serial ports, please read the Serial Ports - Mac OS X vs 'Classic' Mac OS section in this manual. Examples of serial devices that use Mac OS X serial ports are modems using PPP (for internet access - configured via the Networking System Preference icon), Palm Handhelds (using Palm's HotSync Manager), and UPS devices (using PowerGuardian software - www.benatong.com).
