Description
The USB-331 SmartPipe Protocol and Code Converter allows RS-232 data to be fed directly into a USB port as keyboard data. The standard ASCII code set, common in RS-232 applications, does not correspond to the codes of the standard USB keyboard, requiring translation between ASCII and USB keyboard codes. The Vetra USB-331 Protocol Converter performs these ASCII code to USB keyboard code translations. Additional keyboards can be connected through an unused USB port on the computer, or via a hub. Or, use the USB-335 model with an on-board 2-port hub.The connection of a standard keyboard is optional and not necessary for the USB-331 to operate.
