Product Features
This package comes with both the Serial adapter and IntelliPAP CPAP to PC Firmware Upgrade Serial Cable. IntelliPAP users must have a serial port available for the firmware upgrade to work. The DeVilbiss firmware and software only supports a serial connection and USB-to-USB or other connections will not work.
The USB male to Serial male (9-pin) DB-9 RS-232 adapter and Firmware Serial Cable allow users to update their IntelliPAP Standard or AutoAdjust CPAP machines without the need of a built in Serial Port.
This adapter connects to any USB port supported by Microsoft Windows. The adapter simulates a Serial Port connection and allows newer PC-compatible computers without a Serial Port to connect to 9-Pin serial cables.

Once you have downloaded the firmware software, use the IntelliPAP CPAP to PC Firmware Upgrade Serial Cable to upload your DeVilbiss firmware to the machine from your computer. The cable connects to the back of the CPAP and to any PC serial port on your computer.
IntelliPAP users must have a PC serial port available for the firmware upgrade to work. The DeVilbiss software only supports a serial connection; USB-to-USB or other connections will not work. If your computer does not come with a serial port, CPAP.com provides a USB male to Serial male (9-pin) DB-9 RS-232 adapter that allows users to update their IntelliPAP CPAP machines through your computer's USB port. If you do not have a serial port available, then you will need to buy both cords together: IntelliPAP Firmware Upgrade Cable with USB-to-Serial PC Adapter.
