The Advanjet program sets the value for the COM Port at startup. The program
polls each COM port in your computer and looks for the controller. Advanjet will
warn the user if it fails to find the COM port for the controller. To troubleshoot,
open Device Manager (Control Panel\System\Hardware\Device Manager) to view
a list of hardware devices installed on your computer and properties for each
device.
Figure 5-3: Assignment of COM Port Shown on Device Manager
An entry for Ports (COM & LPT) will appear on the Device Manager list when a
USB/Serial adapter cable is installed in the PC. For example, Figure 5-3 shows
that the USB-to-Serial Com Port is assigned a value of 4 (COM4).

Check Status: Click on this button to check on the communication status
between the Advanjet program and the controller. The status is displayed below
the line on the left. A Ready status indicates that the communication is working.
A Com Port Error or Read Error status indicates a RS-232 cable connection
failure.
