You can download Putty here Putty settings It’s free, portable and pretty good if you ask me.

In Windows i use Putty to connect using telnet, ssh, serial or any other connection like that. The rest of this post, is how to connect to the D-link DGS-3324 switch using Putty and configuring the IP address on the switch management interface, if you don’t need this you might not be interested in reading the rest. You now have the Belkin F5U103V working in Windows 7 64Bit. When the computer is back up and running, plug in the Belkin USB to serial converter. I did not do it at first, and was not able to use the device before I did. Just download the driver above, and run the setup file as administrator. You don’t need much to get this device going, but what you need is hard to find! That’s why i have uploaded a copy here Installing the driver

Maybe you need it and maybe you don’t, but this post is something worth having on the web since Belkin is not making any new drivers for the Belkin F5U103V device anymore! Getting Belkin F5U103V to work on Windows 7 64Bit

I then found a serial (RS323) to USB converter at work, the Belkin F5U103V and borrowed it for the day, but when i got home and plugged it into a Windows 7 64Bit laptop I noticed that there was no driver found for the device.Īfter hours of googling around, I found something useful! and now i am going to share it with you. I thought “That’s easy, just connect to the console port and thats it”, but then i came home to notice that none of my computers have a serial (RS323) port! I have a D-link DGS-3324SR rack switch for my servers, and it had some random IP address on the configuration interface that I was not able to find, and I needed to get into the switch to configure some vlans. I had a problem yesterday, and thought I should post my solution since I had a hard time getting it to work and it might help others. If anyone does this on Windows 8 (i don’t have a Windows 8 machine laying around), please leave a comment to verify if it works or not.

Update: I have not tested this on Windows 8, but it should work.
