When connection activity is present, the LED’s will flash letting you know you have signal on the pins.

Great Connection

Reviewed in Canada on March 26, 2021

Verified Purchase

I bought this RS232 because I need a laptop to communicate to my Singer Quantum XL-6000 Sewing/Embroidery machine and it had the 9 pin Null cable (and no USB) which I need to attach the RS232 to so I could transfer embroidery designs to my sewing/embroidery machine. The problem being they were made to communicate to Windows XP and I needed to upgrade to a laptop, so currently running it on Windows 8, now. It was easy to install with the CD disc they sent, it had the manual and instructions and all the different drivers that I would need and easy to install. So I am one Happy Camper these days. Thank You GearMo. The only thing is that, GearMo had other RS232 Adapters but on Amazon.com not Amazon.ca. They were cheaper with the same FTDI ChipSet I needed but were not available in Canada. That would be my only complaint, so I had to spend more to do the same job. It is a step up from the other Adapaters though, so if you like Flashy Lights, you're good to go!
