4.6. Configuring COM Port Properties

This section discusses COM port configuration procedures for Windows Driver Management Consoleports. If
you want to change the starting COM port number on the device, see Configuring Device Settings on Page 43.
If your application does not set COM port properties, use the Device Manager to access Ports (COM & LPT) to
change the port parameters. If the application sets COM port properties, those settings take precedence over
Windows COM port settings. The exception to this guideline is if you use the Override and Lock Baud Rate to
option.
Use the following procedure to change COM port settings on the device port or ports.
Caution
1. Open the Windows Driver Management Console (Page 31).
2. Highlight the appropriate device.
3. Highlight the first port you want to configure.
4. Select the appropriate communications mode.
Note: The COM port configuration page for DeviceMaster and RocketPort provide the most of the same
options.
Do not connect RS-422/485 devices until the appropriate port interface type
has been configured in the driver. The driver default port setting is RS-232.
