HP95LX/HP48 Drivers Installation for Windows 2000, XP, Vista & 7.

Reviewed: Aug. 2012.
Overview:
The HP95LX Palmtop and HP48 can be loaded with software via the serial port.
However, most personal computers in today’s market will not come equipped with a
serial port. Therefore, the objective of the HP95LX/HP48 USB Cable is to regain that
feature, send/receive files to/from a Desktop/Laptop PC via USB port.
The
HP95LX/HP48 USB Cable will allow data file transfer without the need for a physical
serial port—all data is transferred via USB port.
The HP95LX/HP48 USB Cable is USB 2.0 compliant and
will also work with USB 3.0 Ports.
All drivers are
certified for Windows 32 and 64 bits—Windows 2000,
XP, Vista and 7.
Special Note: Linux and Mac OS X drivers are also
available, but we have not tested a Hyper Terminal
equivalent software that will work on Linux or Mac OS X.

Drivers Installation for Windows:
Drivers for Windows must be installed before connecting
the HP95LX/HP48 USB Cable. Please refer to the steps
outlined below.
1. Insert the CD Rom provided into your CD/DVD reader.
2. From the self auto-run window that appears, refer to the driver installation option.
If the self auto-run window does not appear, you can go the CD/DVD root menu
by clicking on “My Computer” and then search for “HP48-USB” CD Rom. Once you
open the CD Rom, you will see various folders, then open the folder named “HP48USB-LINK-Drivers” and then open “Windows” folder. There you will find the
drivers for Windows and install the appropriate driver for your Windows OS.
When you run the driver installation package for your operating system, you will be
prompted with the installation wizard. You should see similar prompts as follows
(driver package version may change due to new version available):
Figure 1: Asks to install a new copy of the drivers or an update. Select “Install a
new…”

Figure 2: Refers to information about the driver. Click Next.
After Figure 2, the wizard will determine which drivers to install based on your
operating system. At the end, you will be prompted with Figure 3.
Figure 3: The installation wizard has determined the appropriate drivers.
Finalize the installation by clicking “Install” from Figure 3. Now, the HP95LX/HP48
USB Cable drivers are installed on your computer.
Virtual Port Number Re-Assignment:
Note: The port number re-assignment is needed for the HP48 Series only. Hyper
Terminal for the HP95LX will detect port numbers higher than 4 (Ex. COM7,
COM12, COM21 etc...).
After the windows driver installation has been finalized, it automatically assigns a
virtual port number on your computer; you may be required to change it. The reason is
because the HP48 file transfer software (HP Connectivity Kit v3.0) only recognizes ports
1-4. See Figure 4 for details.

Figure 4: The HP connectivity software v3.0 only recognizes ports 1-4.
From figure 4, the only port selection that the software allows is for ports 1-4.
Thus, it is necessary to verify the automatically assigned port number by the driver
installation package. In order to perform the port number re-assignment, you
can proceed to connect the HP95LX/HP48 USB Cable to your PC.
Proceed and connect the HP95LX/HP48 USB Cable
to an available USB port on your PC.
Performing a port number re-assignment is outlined for Windows XP,
Vista and 7 in the following pages as follows:

Under Windows XP:
1. Right-Click on “My Computer” and select “Manage”.
2. Once under “Computer Management” select “Device Manager”.

3. Under “Ports (COM & LPT)”, the last entry has the name:
Silicon LABS…(COM3)  This means that the automatically assigned port
number was PORT 3 (Communications port 3). In this case, no port number
re-assignment is needed, since port 3 is within the range of ports 1-4.
In case that the automatically assigned port number is higher than 4.
Example:
Silicon LABS…(COM7) or
Silicon LABS…(COM12) or
Silicon LABS…(COM21)…etc.
4. Then, a port re-assignment is needed and must be re-assigned to port 1-4
(port 1 or port 2 or port 3 or port 4 only).
Right-Click on the port to be re-assigned and select “properties”.

“Advanced…” button.

6. Under “Advanced Settings…” at the bottom click on (3) “COM Port Number”
as shown above. Then, select an unused port from 1-4, Click (4) OK and
Click OK again.

7. UNPLUG the HP95LX/HP48 USB Cable from your PC, wait a few seconds, and
then CONNECT the HP95LX/HP48 USB Cable again to your PC. The port reassignment should be seen – in our case we changed from port 3 to a reassigned port 2, just as an example for this tutorial.
You can see that the port number was re-assigned to PORT 2 (COM2) now.
Important Note: In some computers after doing a port number reassignment, a full system RESTART may be required, if so please RESTART
your computer.
Communication port number re-assignment under Windows Vista and Windows 7
follow similar procedures as those outlined for Windows XP. Please see how to access
the “Device Manager” below:
Opening the “Device Manager” under Windows Vista:
1. Click the Start Menu and select “Control Panel”
Page 8

2. Under “Control Panel” to the left side click on “Classic View”
3. Once “Classic View” is activated, click on “Device Manger”:
Once in “Device Manager” locate the entry “Ports (COM & LPT)” and follow the same
instructions as those outlined under Windows XP for port number re-assignment or port
number verification.
Opening the “Device Manager” under Windows 7:
1. Click on the Start Menu and select “Control Panel”
2. In “Control Panel”, select “System and Security”

3. Then, locate the option “Device Manager”
Once you have accessed the “Device Manager”, locate the “Ports (COM & LPT)” option
and follow the same instructions as those outlined under Windows XP for port number
re-assignment or port number verification.
