Changing COM Port or Baud Rate in Windows

To change the COM Port number or Baud Rate in Windows, the device must be
deleted and re-created in the StarTech.com Device Server Manager.
Note: This is not necessary when using macOS or Linux which use Telnet to
communicate with the Serial Device Server and do not map the device to a
COM port or hardware address.
1. Open a web browser and navigate to the IP address of the Serial Device
Server or click "Configure in Browser" in the StarTech.com Device Server
Manager.
2. Enter the Serial Device Server password.
3. Under "COM No. " , change it to the desired COM Port number or change
the Baud Rate to match the Baud Rate of the connected Serial Peripheral
Device.
Note: Ensure the COM port number you assign is not already in use by the
system, otherwise it will cause a conflict.
4. Click Save Changes.
5. In the StarTech.com Device Server Manager, click the Serial Device Server
which should still have the old COM Port number, then click Delete.
6. Re-add the Serial Device Server using "Add Selected Server" to add a
specific Serial Device Server or "Add All Servers" to add all discovered Serial
Device Servers.
7. The Serial Device Server should now be mapped to the new COM Port
number.
