Using USB TO SERIAL adapters with Compass downloader.
The Universal Serial Bus connection may be used in conjunction with 3rd party, USB to serial conversion products.
Ademco only indirectly supports these applications, and has had success with the following:
- Belkin USB Serial Adapter (http://www.belkin.com/), This unit works with DIRECT CONNECT only, via 4100SM module, emulating COM 1 - COM 4 only, using Windows 98, 98SE, XP, and 2000.
- Keyspan: High Speed USB Serial Adapter for WINDOWS (http://www.keyspan.com/), This unit has been tested, and is approved in WINDOWS XP and 2000 only, for direct connect, via the 4100SM, and the CIA modem, when emulating COM 1 - COM 4
- The Hawking HUC-232S. This product has been tested for all types of communication, modem and direct connect, with Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2, we do not know if it will work on any other Operating System. It must also emulate COM 1 - COM 4.

Open Compass
From the file menu select “Help”…
Then select “About” from the drop down menu…
Note the “Database Version”:
If your database version is 1.5.8.54 and Executable is 1.5.8.54 then you don’t need to do anything – you are up to date! If the first three digits are “1.5.8.” but the last digits are less than “54”, then you need the Pur158_54 patch.
If the first three numbers are less than “1.5.8” then you need the Full Install along with the patches.
