User Manual EPT USB To Serial 1 Meter Cable
Page 2
The EPT 232R-US-R1 adapter cable requires USB device drivers, available from
www.earthpeopletechnology.com/resources/driver, which are used to make the EPT 232R-US-
R1 appear as a Virtual COM Port (VCP). This allows existing serial communications software,
such as HyperSerialPort, to exchange data through the US232R to a legacy RS232 peripheral
device.
