CONFIGURING THE PROGRAMMING PORT

®
MP32 needs to know which COM port to use with the programming cable. Select the
"Communications Configuration" button on the device selection screen.
When the USB programming cable is first plugged in, the system should detect it and load the
necessary driver software. If you are having problems with this contact us and we can help.
When the installation is complete the system will assign a new COM port to the cable, such as
COM5. It may not be immediately apparent what COM number has been assigned to a USB
device. To find this out (with the cable plugged in) go to:
Settings  Control Panel  System  Hardware  Device Manager  Ports
You should see your USB cable there and its assigned COM port. Each USB cable has a
unique electronic serial number. The computer will remember this number. If one USB cable is
unplugged and another one is installed, the system will not reuse the previous COM port
number. Rather it will assign a new COM port number to it. For instance, if the previous cable
was assigned COM5, then the new cable might become COM6.
If using the serial programming cable then the COM port is the physical COM port number that
the cable is plugged in to, typically COM1 or COM2.
