Keyspan 1.9 User Manual

For example, if you have a Palm, you will have to tell the Palm Desktop software to look for your 
Palm handheld (hardware) on a Keyspan serial port. By doing this, you establish communication 
between your serial device's software (ie the Palm Desktop software) and your serial device 
hardware (the Palm handheld unit).

Most serial devices will have software that will allow you to select which serial port the device is 
connected to. Depending on your serial device and its software, you may have to configure: a 
Control Panel (ie modems accessing ISPs), an application (ie UPSes), or some combination of 
these (ie modems accessing terminals using Zterm).

Please refer to your serial devices documentation on which method your serial device uses and how 
to access that software's serial port "configuration" screen. 

Once you've determined where to select or configure your serial device's software's serial port 
settings, please proceed to Step 5. 

 - 

Determine Which Serial Port To Select In Your Serial Device's Software 

When you've found the port selection screen in your serial device's software, you may be presented 
with a list of serial port names, a list of icons, or some combination of both.  

At this point, you have to select the name or icon of the Keyspan serial adapter you are connecting 
to.  Please note that you can see the port name and icon port name of your Keyspan Serial Adapter 
in the 

 section in this manual.

 - 

Use Your Serial Device 

Once you've configured your serial software to use the Keyspan serial port, you're ready to start 
using your serial device under Mac OS.

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