CHAPTER 4: OPERATION
COM Port Assignment
Configure how COM ports will be assigned.There are two options:
1. Assign COM ports based on converter serial number. This is the default setting. In this mode, the driver uses the
serial number of each converter to uniquely identify it, and the COM port assignments for a given converter are
based on its serial number. No matter which physical USB port a converter is plugged into, it will maintain its
assigned COM port numbers.
1. Assign COM ports based on physical USB port. In this mode, the driver identifies a converter based on the physical
USB port it is plugged into. This effectively assigns COM port numbers to physical USB ports. No matter which
converter is plugged into a given USB port, it will use the COM port numbers assigned to that USB port. This
permits a converter to be replaced with a new unit, and, although the new unit has a different serial number, it
will receive the same COM port assignments as the old unit because they were both plugged into the same USB
port. When using this mode, converters are identified not by their serial number, but by a 2-7 digit number that
identifies which USB port it is plugged into.
When the COM ports are assigned, click OK. You must reboot the computer before the change takes effect.
