Local and remote COM port Setup Tips

The default selections for the Local Setup port and for the Remote setup port are COM1 and
COM2, respectively. If you are not sure of the correct assignments for your PC, check the
following:

If your computer has a modem

1. Double click My Computer on your PC's desktop.
2. Double click Control Panel.
3. Double click Modems and select Properties. The Port assignment for the modem is then
displayed (COM1, COM2, COM3, or COM4).
If you are going to collect Auditron data remotely, this is the port that will need to be
assigned as the Remote Setup port.
If you are going to collect data locally, examine the connector on your computer's mouse to
determine the type of mouse you have.
A PS/2 mouse has a circular 6-pin connector.
A Serial mouse has a rectangular 9-pin connector.
In the expanded Connection Selection window, select the correct COM ports for Local and/or
Remote Setups:
If you are going to collect data locally, the correct selection for Local Setup is determined as
follows:
• If your mouse is a PS/2 mouse, the correct selection is likely COM1 (if the modem is not
COM1). If the Modem is COM1, the correct selection is likely COM2.
• If your mouse is a Serial mouse, the correct selection is likely COM2 (if the modem is not
COM2). If the modem is COM2, the correct selection is likely COM3.
Notes:
• The Local Setup and the Remote Setup can not be assigned to the same Port.
• If the expanded Connection Selection window is not displayed when trying to check the port
assignments, restart the Auditron Report Software and click on Setup on the Connection
Selection window and the window will expand.
