(Optional)
Note: For devices using serial communication, make sure that the serial
port selected matches the serial port to which the device is physically
connected. If a serial expansion cable is used, then the number selected in
the profile is the number on the cable plus two.
Note: The Alias field may also be referred to as the Name box and may be
found on another tab under Alias.
• If the device uses Serial Port as a communication interface, in the COM Port
Number list, select the COM port that the device is connected to.
• If the device uses Ethernet as a communication interface, type the IP address
assigned to the device by the administrator or use the corresponding host
name for the address.
