INTELLIKEY Service Bulletin

Topic | USB-To-Serial Adapters |
Date | Mar 10, 2009 |
The INTELLIKEY Key Processing Unit (KPU) and Lock Programming Unit (LPU) interface through serial communication ports to the PC running the INTELLIKEY software. Recent models PCs, especially laptops, omit the serial ports in favor of newer, more versatile interfaces such as the Universal Serial Bus (USB)
Until the INTELLIKEY equipment has been updated to support these new interfaces, it will be necessary to use adaptors that simulate serial ports when running the INTELLIKEY software.
The INTELLIKEY software does not make any special demands on the serial port, so most of the available adaptors should work correctly. The software has been tested with the following models:
