Summary

Usually, Windows 7, 8 and Windows 10 will automatically install the ATEN USB-to-Serial driver v3.3.7.131 (or 3.4.62.295).

This article describes the procedure for downloading and installing version 3.3.3.131 (or 3.4.62.295) of the Bridgemate Pro server USB-serial converter for 64-bit versions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10.

Introduction

There are a few different models of the ATEN USB-to-Serial Converter (dongle). Our testing indicates that driver version 3.3.7.131 (early versions were 3.1.0.0) works on most Windows 10 PC's. It is possible that some Windows 10 64-bit computers will need the later driver v3.4.62.295.

Note:

Only install this driver when you connect the Bridgemate Pro server to a USB port using the “Aten USB-to-serialserial 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.

IMPORTANT:

This driver should only be used on 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or 10. On 32-bit operating systems Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7, use the 32-bit driver instead.

Windows 10, Baofeng, and Chirp

The Windows 10 installation/upgrade includes a newer version of the Prolific USB-Serial driver. This is the interface driver software that translates many USB to Radio adapters via a Com-Port (for lack of a more complex explanation).

There is one problem. The newer drivers create a false positive on the serial interface and throw the radio into a transmit mode upon connection to the PC. This prevents any updates to the radio using Chirp software and forces your radio into an uncontrolled (undesired) transmit state.

New Prolific Drivers may give a FALSE Positive: (6-2015) – Windows will now load the newest Prolific driver 3.6.78.350 when inserting your cable. A Yellow Triangle may not always appear in Device Manager as described below, however,when you insert the cable into your radio, the transmitter will turn on.
