How to Install your adapter ICUSBS232D on Linux?
Startech did not explained how to use the ICUSB232D adapter on Linux in the notice.
You will find bellow my procedure that i have used to set it up, you can use and share it.
Connect the provided USB 2.0 Cable to the USB Serial Adapter, and then to an available USB port on the computer.
Linux should recognize automatically the adapter, now you can use your terminal and write this command:
Check result « pl2303 ». Exemple:

apt-get install minicomAfter installing, please open up minicom by running this command:
minicom -sTo set up: enter in the « serial port setup » and set the serial device by «/dev/ttyUSB0».
