Advanced COM Port Settings
From the Port Settings tab, you can get to the advanced settings for the COM port by clicking the 'Advanced...'
button. This will open another dialog window allowing you to change the advanced settings for the COM port.
COM Port Number
The COM Port Number is changed using the drop down box on this page. Click the drop down box and select a
COM Port Number from the list. If the COM Port number is labelled "(in use)", it is either currently used by a
COM Port present on the system, or is reserved for a device which is not currently present. It is possible to
select this COM number and force the change if you are sure it is not required by any other device. Click the
'OK' button to apply the changes.
Port Accessible When Device is Offline
With ED devices being connected through a network, whenever a device is unplugged the device will go offline
in Boost.IO Manager and any COM ports that are installed will become unavailable. By ticking this checkbox, it
will keep the COM port available to use the port, even if the ED device is offline. This is useful if the device is
being used in an application that requires a constant connection to a COM port.
