Summary
Usually, Windows 7, 8 and Windows 10 will automatically install the ATEN USB-to-Serial driver v3.3.7.131 or a similar number.
This article describes the procedure for downloading and installing version 2.0.2.1 of the Bridgemate Pro server USB-to-serial converter (dongle) for 32-bit versions of Microsoft Windows. In case you experience connection problems with the Bridgemate Pro server, it is recommended the driver be updated.
Introduction
Version 2.0.2.1 of the Aten USB-serial converter driver has been tested successfully on 32-bit version of Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. Version 3.7 and 3.8 of the Aten driver cd-rom contain this version of the driver (the version number of the cd-rom is written on the cd-rom itself). Previous driver cd-roms and driver files downloaded from the internet possibly contain older versions of the driver and applying these drivers may result in problems during use. Possible symptoms are:

- Error 8021 or 8018 ('There is a problem reading from or writing data to the serial port.')
- Bridgemate Pro Control is not responding to any user action.
- Windows shows a blue error screen and the computer resets afterwards.
When these symptoms continuously occur on your computer and as a consequence Bridgemate Control Software cannot be used properly, the driver of the Aten USB-serial converter should be updated.
Note: Only install this driver when you connect the Bridgemate Pro server to a USB port using the 'Aten USB-to-serial converter' which is supplied with the Bridgemate Pro server. If the Bridgemate Pro server uses a direct serial connection port or a USB-serial converter of another brand, do not use this driver.

This driver should only be used on 32-bit versions of Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7; this driver has not been tested on W8, 8.1 or 10 32-bit systems. On 64-bit operating systems Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 or 10, use the 64-bit driver instead.

Background
Recently we started using the
The software we used was
UC232A
USB-to-Serial Converter to connect to a board.The software we used was
TeraTerm
on a 64bit Windows 10
without installing custom drivers.Our serial port configuration was the following:
- Baud rate: 115200
- Data: 8 bit
- Parity: none
- Stop: 1 bit
- Flow control: none
- Transmit delay:
5 msec/char
5 msec/line
The problem
We noticed that something was wrong with the process as the terminal would not operate consistently.
Some times keystrokes did not appear on screen, in other times results would not appear correctly (they could be truncated or mixed with other data) and in general, the system acted like it was possessed by a ghost.

Troubleshooting
We played around with the configuration parameters, hoping that it was an issue like having the need to add large transmit delay but it did not change anything, the communication with the board was unstable.
Afterwards, we switched to another cable, of a different company, and everything worked as expected. The data on the screen was consistent and the ghost was banished. The

UC232A
was brand new so we tested that it works on a GNU/Linux
machine, which turned out to be OK. Doing so, these two tests led us to the conclusion that since both the cable operates properly on GNU/Linux
and the board operates properly using the other cable, that the issue we had was the automatically installed Windows 10 drivers.Solution
While the cable was unplugged, we installed the official drivers we found here.
