3. Launch RSLinx software to create a driver to represent the connection

on the communication port noted in step 1.

4. From the Communications menu, choose Configure Drivers to display

the Configure Drivers dialog box.

5. From the Available Driver Types pull-down menu, choose RS-232 DF1

devices.

6. After the driver is selected, click Add New.

The Add New RSLinx Driver dialog box appears.

7. Create a name for the new driver (for example, 1203-USB) or use the

default name.

8. Click OK.

The Configure RS-232 DF1 Devices dialog box appears.

Important: Do not click Auto-Configure because it will not work with

the 1203-USB converter. Sometimes clicking
Auto-Configure will break the driver. If Auto-Configure
was unintentionally clicked, it is best to delete the driver
and start over with step 5 above.
