Swap COM Ports
Selecting the Swap Com Ports button moves the Secondary COM Port settings to the Primary COM Port (and moves the
Primary COM Port to the Secondary settings). Since Integra-TR programming is done through the Primary COM Port, this is
useful when two units are connected to the Primary and Secondary COM Ports. A Swap COM Ports allows the second unit
to be programmed without switching programming cables. Swap COM Ports is also selectable from the Utilities drop-down
menu.
