However, many commercial and industrial devices still use the RS-232 interface. BB-232USB9M USB to RS-232 Miniature Converter To connect these devices to modern PCs, you need a simple and reliable conversion BB-232USB9M-LS USB to RS-232 Miniature Converter (Locked Serial Number) solution. Model BB-232USB9Mx offers this solution in a compact, space saving, USB port-powered package. Simply install the drivers supplied on CD ROM and plug the converter into an available Accessories Sold Separately USB port on your computer or USB hub. The device will show up as an additional COM BB-USBAMBM-3F USB Cable, 0.91 m (3 ft) (one cable included with converter) port in the Windows Device Manager which is fully compatible with your Windows applications. Locked serial number version is also available. A USB cable is included. BB-9PAMF6 Serial Cable, 1.8 m (6 ft), DB9 male to DB9 female Locked Serial Numbers Explained Advantech configures these single-port USB to serial converters in two ways. In standard format, each product has a unique serial number. Locked serial number format uses the same serial number that is associated with the model number. If your converter will always be used with the same computer, the standard serialized model is all you need. If the converter is shared among several computers, like field service laptops, the locked serial number model lets you plug-and-play without having to worry about matching the two. Locked Serial Description Serialized Number Every unit is assigned a unique COM port - Same type model numbers shares the same COM port - Ideal applications Fixed Locations Field Service Note: Serialized and Lock Serial Number versions sell for the same price.
