What is the Serial on USB Port Windows Driver?
The Serial on USB Port driver refers to a driver used by a USB-to-serial converter or USB serial device. This allows a USB port to emulate a traditional serial (COM) port, which is commonly used for communication with legacy devices such as modems, printers, barcode scanners, or other serial devices that require a COM port for communication.
A USB-to-serial adapter or USB serial converter typically allows older serial devices, which use the RS-232 standard, to be connected to modern computers that no longer have native serial ports. This driver helps the system recognize and manage the virtual COM port created by the USB-to-serial adapter.
