How do I use your direct connect cable if my computer does not have a serial (COM) port?

In order to use a direct connect cable on a computer that does not have a serial (COM) port you will need to use a USB-to-Serial adapter. These devices can usually be purchased from a store that sells and/or services computers.

You can also obtain an adapter plus the correct direct connect cable through your Linear dealer. The part number for the Linear USB-to-Serial adapter and A2C-DB9 cable is ACP00956.


The adapter kit comes with XP drivers on a CD. Follow the instructions included with the CD to install the drivers.

To download drivers for Windows Vista, and Windows 7, go to the following website: http://www.airlink101.com/products/ac-usbs.php
