their PC without RS-232 COM-port support. The ACT-IR204UN Windows driver will create one or two
virtual COM-port for user’s PC with USB port (USB Spec 1.1 compliant). So that user can transfer files
or data with Windows connection program, e.g. “HyperTerminal”, to set up serial UART connection of
COM-port # and baud rate.
