How to install the driver

Extract the file and then right-click on the EXE file inside. On the new menu you will then click on the “Troubleshoot Compatibility” option on the menu.

From there you will need to ensure that you restart your computer and see if your hardware is accessible. See also other hardware on here. If this does not work then try a different driver from Prolific which you can see listed above. Use the search on the sidebar.

Here’s a simplified explanation of the differences between RS-232 and USB:

RS-232:

• RS-232 is an older method of communication.
• It defines how devices physically connect and transfer data.
• RS-232 doesn’t have a specific data format or built-in error-checking.
• It has slower data transfer, shorter cables, larger connectors, and limited ability to connect multiple devices.
• RS-232 supports only point-to-point communication, meaning it connects one device directly to another.

USB:

• USB is a modern communication system allowing multiple devices to connect to a computer using one port.
• Devices need specific USB connectors and cables (like Type-A, Type-B, or Type-C) to connect.
• USB is designed for high-speed data transfer between one computer and multiple peripherals.
• It’s more complex to create low-level interfaces for USB.
• In most modern computers, USB has replaced RS-232 for most connections. However, RS-232 is still used in certain industries for its simplicity and reliability.
