Yes. The secondary port does not need to be connected.
Yes. They simply need to have different COM port numbers assigned to them, which is simple to do in Windows Device Manager.

Configurable in a snap. Simple to work with. Is there anything else you could possibly want?.
This card was purchased to go with a new computer that runs Windows 7, 64-bit. bit. My RS-232C had a problem, which I discovered. After a while, the 232 software loses its connection to the serial port, which must be re-established. After installing the drivers, everything worked fine for a short time before the connection was lost. This occurred with two different software packages, so I believe the software is in good working order. In all honesty - br>br> StarTech's tech support was quick to respond, but they eventually determined that the issue was on my end - It could be a driver issue or a problem with Windows 7 x64. They claim that the driver is working fine in their lab, so it could be a Windows problem. The product is of good quality, and it was delivered on time; However, if you plan to use this with Windows 7 x64, make sure you test everything before Amazon's return period ends.
It was a success. On a mini CD, it came with the driver.
There aren't any RS232 ports, only USB, and I needed to connect a GPS. I chose this card after searching for a Windows 7 compatible DBI to USB converter and examining several cards. It took no time to install, and Windows 7 already had the driver installed (no need to use the driver CD). After a failed attempt, I changed the com port from 2 to 1 and it now works flawlessly. The only complaint I have is the cost of an "obsolete" port.
Without hesitation, I am getting the information I require right now.
The product is of excellent quality and meets all of the requirements.
It is highly recommended. RS- is a term that is used to describe a condition that affects the With the normalization of internal modems and PS/2 mice, 232 connectivity was marginalized, and many of the remaining edge cases were covered by USB, but some odd outliers remained (and still do). There's a good amount of point-to-point distance between you and the finish Serial communications are still used by sale equipment, networking equipment with a serial management port, older UPSes, and almost every IoT board. So, how did StarTech handle my use case of IoT? Will the com 2 Port Low Profile Native RS232 PCI Express Serial Card with 16550 UART be sufficient for my needs? br>br>The inclusion of the 16550 UART in this product is going to excite some people. When modem data rates were higher than 9600 baud, this was a HUGE DEAL. The move to the 16550 UART was necessitated by the 8250 UART's hardware interrupt model limitations and lack of a real data buffer. However, other ICs that are functionally equivalent (or better) exist nowadays, so this is no longer a selling point. The problem I'm having with low-cost USB RS-232 adapters is that they're not The problem with 232 ports is that they mostly emulate a COM port, but they don't RESERVE the same port number in the event of configuration changes (plug/unplug, for example). If your software uses com port numbers to address devices, this can be a pain. Second, the port number in some USB solutions is always in the 8-digit range. When your software only supports 2 or 4 ports, the 32 range can be a problem. This solution offers three major benefits: br>br>
1. USB dongles are not supported by hard ports. If you have a POS system, this should not be overlooked because cables can be attached to the port and can withstand the weight.
2. COM port numbers that have been set in stone: This is excellent for permanent installationsbr>3. a superior non- Compatibility with Windows 10: I had no issues using this with legacy and alternative OSesbr>br>Recommended for alternative OS usersbr>br>.
I'm a big fan of startech products for the most part. I needed a serial port on my desktop and thought I'd give it a shot. It works perfectly without any isseus. I'm using it with a serial printer, and it hasn't dropped out on me yet. It was incredibly easy to set up. br>br> It occupies one or two half-height slots (you don't need to use the second slot if you only need one serial port). If you have a full-height slot, only one serial port is used. Although the board has a molex power connector, I did not use it. Pin 9 can be set to send 5 volts, 12 volts, or no voltage. It is set to no voltage by default. If you're not sending power over pin 9, it doesn't appear that the molex power adapter is necessary. Even if you send power over pin 9, the manual makes it seem as if it's optional. A parallel port pin is present on the board, but the ribbon cable and parallel port bracket are not included. br>br>After installing, I simply downloaded the most recent driver from the website, configured the port settings, and was ready to go. I've had no problems with it since I installed it and set it up.
